The Co-operative University of Kenya (CUK) participated in the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon (SCNM) 2025 held on Sunday, 26th October 2025 at Uhuru Gardens. Led by our Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kamau Ngamau, a total of 50 staff and students took part in Kenya’s biggest race, which is a celebration of sport, culture, and adventure. The marathon’s route was set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Southern Bypass where over 30,000 runners enjoyed the stunning serenity of the Nairobi National Park.
Since the SCNM was inaugurated in 2003, it has transformed lives, first through “Seeing is Believing” and presently through Futuremakers initiative that has impacted over 1 million young people by supporting education, employability, and entrepreneurship. CUK
shares deeply in the dream and the vision of the Futuremakers program of the Standard Chartered Bank through its deliberate effort to support this annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity in making a real difference in communities across Kenya and empowering them.
The Marathon saw over 1,700 international participants from over 90 countries globally. The organizers of the SCNM2025 offer an immersive experience beyond the race through exclusive travel packages with Marathon partners including Kenya Airways, Prudential, and JumboJet, among others. “This year, as we mark the 22nd edition of this iconic event under the theme “Together, We Run Further,” I am honoured to invite you to be part of a remarkable celebration that goes beyond the race,” expressed Kariuki Ngari, the Standard Chartered Kenya’s Chief Executive Officer.
