Kitui Green Run
Every Step.
Stored Water.
Unlike races that rely on general charity appeals, the Kitui Green Run ties participation to a simple, visible outcome. Every kilometre run contributes to water capacity — created and protected in Kitui’s drylands. The race becomes a RainBank, turning sport into action communities can see, measure, and celebrate.
- School Rainwater Systems — harvesting installations along the 21 km corridor
- Community Storage Points — clean water access for rural populations
- Dryland Restoration — sand dams, soil bunds, and landscape interventions
