Prize money will be $1,000 minimum. This is clearly not a race to run if prize money is your goal. The prize is raising awareness about the plight of AIDS sufferers and the orphans of Africa. The marathon and half marathon running fees for Kenyan runners is 50 shillings, about 75 cents, and can be paid on-site the morning of the marathon. Please arrive by 5 AM. Alternately there will be a few facilities for Kenyans to sign up in advance, locations to be determined.
