About
Lace Up Nairobi
We document the routes, runners, clubs, races and gear shaping Nairobi's running culture.
Who We Are
We write about running in Nairobi because no one else is doing it justice.
Lace Up Nairobi was born from years of pounding the same roads and trails, sharing information in WhatsApp groups and wondering why there was no single place that captured what it actually feels like to run this city.
We cover stories, routes, gear, races and the people who make Nairobi one of the world's great running cities - even if most of the world does not know it yet.
The Team
Kevin Otieno
Writer — Kevo
Adventure runner interested in long roads, red dirt routes and the stories behind endurance.
Amira Hassan
Photography
Documents Nairobi running life across early mornings, race days, trails and community sessions.
Editorial Standard
Practical, local and useful before it is polished.
Our guides are written for people who actually run here: early starts, uneven roads, changing weather, group logistics and routes that look different depending on the day.
When we review gear or events, we focus on what matters to Nairobi runners - durability, fit, access, cost, terrain and whether the recommendation holds up outside a studio photo.
