SUMMARY:Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Nairobi Marathon Events 2018\nStandard Chartered Bank will this year host the 15th edition of the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon. The Bank\, with the support of event organizers\, Athletics Kenya\, have built an event that has become internationally renowned and has placed Kenya on the international map. The Marathon is the flagship project for our ‘Seeing is Believing’ community imitative that aims to raise funds for the needy in the community. \nLast year’s event attracted over 22\,000 participants from all walks of life. \nThe objectives of the marathon are to:\nRaise the profile of Kenya internationally;\nHelp identify and provide opportunity for the local athletic talent to excel;\nHelp boost tourism to Kenya;\nCreate a community event for everyone’s enjoyment; and\nRaise funds for the needy in the community\, that is\, our “Seeing is Believing” community initiative. \nThe marathon has achieved all these objectives in good measure. It has put Kenya on the world map as it continues to attract international runners therefore increasing the profile of our nation. \nFurthermore\, hundreds of people have traveled to Kenya to run the last 10 marathons and after the event have proceeded on holiday to some of Kenya’s tourist attractions. \nThe marathon has received vast media coverage over the years which have seen the event broadcasted around Africa and other international news channels as well as in our local media. \nThe Nairobi Marathon has also served as a platform where budding athletes have launched their international careers. Since the launch of the Marathon in 2003 only one winner has successfully defended their title. Every year the marathon produces new winners. \nThe Nairobi Marathon is now an event for all Kenyans\, including corporate organizations that use it as a forum for team building. \nThis year\, Standard Chartered extended its sponsorship for the marathon for another five years. Together with Athletics Kenya\, we have creatively modeled the Nairobi Marathon into different categories to suit all. From the grueling full and half marathon that call for extreme courage and endurance\, to the 10km\, the wheelchair race and the family fun run\, the Nairobi marathon has something for everyone. \nRules & Regulations \nGovernance\nThe Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon is organised in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF)\, the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and Athletics Kenya (AK) and the provisions stipulated below. \nEntry\n• Entry application will only be processed after receipt of full payment of entry fee.\n• Participants of 21km and 42 km must be over 18 years of age.\n• Participants in the 10 km race and Family Fun Run under the age of 18 must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.\n• All participants must ensure they are medically fit to participate in the race.\n• The organiser reserves the right to contact and interview applicants by phone for additional information required for matters relating to this event.\n• The organisers will not be responsible for any disputes arising from incomplete/incorrect entry details.\n• In accordance with IAAF requirements\, all participants in the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon are subject to performance enhancing substances control procedures.\n• The organiser reserves the right to refuse entry to applicants who declare false information on their entry form\, do not make the required payment\, or who have been banned from competition under IAAF/AK jurisdiction or who have taken banned substances or who do not meet the entry requirements as stated in the Rules and Regulations.\n• The organiser reserves the right to limit or refuse entries and to close entries before the closure deadline without notice particularly when a specific quota for a race is full.\n• Entries are not transferrable to other persons or to future events.\n• There will be no fee refunded if the event is cancelled for whatever reason. \nParticipation\n• Whilst every reasonable precaution will be taken by the organiser to ensure the participant’s safety\, participants run at their own risk and the organisers shall not be liable for any loss and/or damage whether personal or otherwise\, and howsoever arising.\n• The Organisers reserve the right to use the participants’ personal data\, contact information\,motion pictures\, recordings or any other records obtained\, collected or submitted for the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon for any legitimate purposes\, including commercial advertising\, re-marketing\, marketing of other Products offered by the organizer and those offered by Sponsors to the Standard Chartered Nairobi marathon.\n• Participants are required to wear an official Marathon race number on the front of their singlet/shirt.\n• Personal Trainers\, mentors or coaches will not be allowed on the course unless they are entered in the event and wearing an official Marathon Race Number.\n• No un-official vehicles\, motorbikes or bicycles are allowed on the course.\n• No pets are allowed on the course.\n• Race numbers and Timing chips are not transferable to other participants.\n• Participants must start the event at an officially sanctioned start time only.\n• Competitors are obliged to follow the instructions of Stewards\, Race officials or Kenya Traffic Police at all times.\n• Participants must start at the official start Line and complete the full officially measured course as indicated in this guide.\n• A runner must retire from the race immediately if required to do so by any member of the official medical team identified by a reflective jacket with a red cross.\n• Road closures will be lifted at the discretion of the Kenya Traffic Police.
