The road to the Elimu Bora Run just got a lot more vibrant.

Yesterday, Friday, 24th April 2026, the air was filled with energy and purpose as staff and students gathered for the second Elimu Bora Pre-Run Walk. This event served as a vital precursor to the main event scheduled for Saturday, 20th June 2026, proving that the journey toward educational equity is one we take together, one step at a time.

A Walk of Gratitude and Goodwill

The walk was more than just a physical warm-up; it was a profound gesture of solidarity. Led by the University management under the guidance of Prof. Esther Mombo, Ag. Vice Chancellor, the participants marched to show their unwavering support for the upcoming run and the mission it represents.

A central highlight of the day was the collective appreciation for Elder Gene Hyun. Her vision and generous contributions have been instrumental in the growth of the Elimu Bora Endowment Fund, a resource dedicated to ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of academic excellence.

Building the Momentum

With the main run less than two months away, the Pre-Run Walk achieved several key goals:

• Community Engagement: Bringing together students, faculty, and administration in a shared cause.

• Awareness: Reminding the public of the June 20th date and the importance of the Elimu Bora initiative.

• Fitness & Fun: Encouraging a healthy lifestyle while championing a noble cause.

"The Elimu Bora Run is not just an event on the calendar; it is a commitment to the future of our students. Seeing the turnout today gives us immense confidence for the main event in June." — Prof. Esther Mombo, Ag. Vice Chancellor.

Looking Ahead: The Elimu Bora Run 2026

The success of yesterday’s walk has set the stage for an unforgettable experience on June 20th. The Endowment Fund continues to grow, thanks to the kindness of donors like Elder Gene Hyun and the active participation of our university community.
