Join us on this day to raise awareness and funds for HIV & AIDS prevention and to
support the health and well-being of men, women, and children affected by the Triple Threat.
Organized by the National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC), the World AIDS Day 2024 Marathon is a call to action for all Kenyans to join the fight against HIV&AIDS. This marathon is not just about running; it’s about raising awareness and tackling the Triple Threat of new HIV infections, unintended pregnancies, as well as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) among adolescents and young people.
The marathon is themed "Promoting the health and well-being of men and boys" and seeks to raise funds to support the rehabilitation of over 26,000 people who inject drugs and are at high risk of contracting HIV.

The World AIDS day 2024 half marathon is more than just a race; it's a powerful statement of solidarity against HIV&AIDS, and promotion of the wellness of men and boys.
