Absa Bank Kenya has launched the inaugural Absa City Run in Eldoret as it marks 100 years of partnership with customers and communities in the region.
The Absa Eldoret City Run will take place this Sunday, November 1, 2026. The run is designed to bring families, fitness enthusiasts, running clubs and residents of all ages together to walk, jog or run at their own pace.
The event will feature 3KM, 5KM and 10KM categories and is free and open to the public. Elite athletes will take part in the 10KM category, in recognition of Eldoret’s global reputation as the Home of Champions and to inspire the next generation of runners.
Absa Bank Kenya Eldoret Regional Manager Timothy Kosgey said the city run reflected the bank’s long-standing relationship with the region.
“For 100 years, Absa has been part of Eldoret’s growth story, supporting generations of customers, businesses and communities as they pursue their ambitions. The launch of the Absa Eldoret City Run reflects our commitment to creating experiences that bring communities together and promote wellness,” Kosgey said.
Kosgey has invited residents to turn out in large numbers, regardless of the category they choose.
“Whether you are joining the 3KM Fun Run with your family, taking on the 5KM challenge or participating in the 10KM route, this event is about coming together as a community and embracing healthy lifestyles. We look forward to seeing thousands of residents turn out,” Kosgey added.
The City Run series builds on Absa’s support for athletics in Kenya, which includes flagship events such as the Absa Sirikwa Classic and the Absa Kip Keino Classic.
According to Absa bank, the new series extends this commitment by creating opportunities for everyday Kenyans to take part in recreational running and wellness-focused events.
