The Co-operative Bank of Kenya has contributed Sh300,000 toward the third edition of the Mt Kenya Mountain Running Championship.
The contribution sets the initiative a notch higher as it seeks to raise Sh50millin for cancer treatment and awareness as well as enhance environmental conservation.
“A huge thank you to the C-operative Bank for their generous contribution of Sh300,000 towards the Mt Kenya Mountain Running Championship. You support has helped us promote sports and community development and made this event a huge success. We are grateful for your partnership and commitment to making a positive impact in the community,”
Competitors will participate in 13km senior men and women races where the winner will go away with Sh500,000, first runners-up Sh300,000 and third place finisher Sh100,000.
Meru governor Kawira Mwangaza said the event had grown as a brand for the county and the country and would capitalize on its success to lobby to host the global championship.
