Mount Kenya University will participate in the Tinderet Barng’etuny Mountain Run National Championship, scheduled for 17 January 2025, as part of its continued commitment to supporting sports and creative arts among the youth. In support of the event, the University has contributed one million Kenya shillings to the event organisers as financial sponsorship for the marathon.
The University’s Principal – Corporate Services, Prof. Peter Wanderi, presented a dummy cheque to the Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, and Children Services, Hon. Hanna Wendot Cheptumo, in support of the event. Hon. Julius K. Melly, Member of Parliament for Tinderet Constituency, Nandi County, was present during the presentation.
The mountain run seeks to support key social causes, including education and environmental conservation, aligning with Mount Kenya University’s broader mission of promoting community development, youth empowerment, and sustainable initiatives.
This will mark the second consecutive year Mount Kenya University is participating in the mountain run. In the previous edition, the University sponsored both staff and students to take part in the race in support of the noble cause.
