A burgeoning running community called We Run Nairobi is transforming the city's Saturday mornings, offering an accessible and free alternative to traditional fitness culture.

• We Run Nairobi has grown from 4 participants to hundreds, becoming the largest free running community in the city.
• Led by lawyer and 11-time marathoner Emily Chepkor, the movement addresses Kenya's deepening health crisis, with NCDs accounting for 41 per cent of all deaths.
• The club’s free, community-focused approach makes fitness accessible, attracting participants who find gyms expensive and intimidating.
