Run For Every Heartbeat
Heart disease often moves in silence no warning, no permission, just a heartbeat that stops keeping time. The Mary Kerubo Foundation is answering that silence with movement: a community coming together on foot, in Kisii County, to raise awareness, fund early detection, and remind every runner and spectator alike that a heart looked after is a life protected.
Heart Health Awareness Run 2026 is more than a race. It’s a public health intervention wrapped in community spirit — three distances designed so that no one is left out of the cause, whether they’re chasing a personal best or simply walking alongside family.
- 3KM Fun Run — Family & Community. Built for anyone who wants to show up: parents, children, grandparents, neighbors. This is where the cause becomes visible — a wave of people moving together for a single heartbeat.
- 5KM Wellness Run — Fitness & Awareness. For those ready to push a little further, pairing physical wellness with the message the Foundation exists to spread.
- 10KM Challenger Run — Competitive & Endurance. For the runners who want to test themselves, knowing every stride also supports someone else’s chance at early diagnosis and treatment.
Every registration is just KES 1,000 — goes directly toward the Foundation’s four pillars of work:
- Awareness & Prevention — reaching communities before heart disease does
- Screening & Early Detection — catching what’s treatable before it becomes urgent
- Treatment & Support — standing with those already living with heart conditions
- Stronger Together — building a community where no one faces a heart diagnosis alone
Date: 27th September 2026 Venue: Kisii County
Runners will receive an official event t-shirt, and every finish line crossed adds to a growing wave of awareness moving through Kisii County and beyond.
Why This Matters
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in Kenya, yet much of it is preventable with early screening and community awareness. This run turns that statistic into something tangible — a single day where thousands of footsteps carry one message forward: hearts are worth protecting, and no one should face that fight alone.
