Gwen Kinisu, Prudential Life Kenya CEO

Prudential Life Kenya has announced a Ksh. 10 million sponsorship for the 5KM Family Run at this year’s Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon, set for 26th October 2025.

The insurer, which will also serve as the official life insurer of the day, said its support is meant to help runners feel protected and confident, allowing them to focus on the finish line.

This is the third year in a row that Prudential is sponsoring the family category, a move the company says reinforces its commitment to health, protection and building resilient communities.

“We chose to sponsor the Family Run because it aligns with our vision of promoting healthier lifestyles through active living. The 5KM run goes beyond being a race—it allows parents, children and loved ones to run side by side, making it a true celebration of family and community,” said Prudential Kenya CEO Gwen Kinisu.

“Beyond that, it is also an opportunity to support the incredible work being done through Futuremakers, an initiative of Standard Chartered Bank.” added Kinisu.

Standard Chartered welcomed the sponsorship, with Joyce Kibe, Head of Corporate Affairs, Brand and Marketing, Kenya and Africa, noting:

“This financial sponsorship from Prudential Life for the 5KM family fun-run will go a long way to execute the marathon and support the wellness and active lifestyle for families, in addition to providing comprehensive insurance coverage for participants. With Ksh.130 million contributed by the Bank towards the event, we are looking forward to creating a great race experience this year that will increase social impact milestones in communities we work with through our Futuremakers Initiative as well as positively contribute to the economy.” Noted Kibe
