Ewaso Lions, in partnership with Sasaab Lodge and Westgate Community Conservancy, held the first-ever marathon in Westgate Community Conservancy on May 1st. We had over 35 runners including 5 children participate in the event themed ‘Running for Lions.’ This special community event was held to increase awareness of the importance of lion conservation in the area. Ewaso Lions had 5 runners participate, with Jeneria Lekilele finishing in 8th position.
The first 3 winners of both the adult’s and children’s race will be sponsored by Ewaso Lions and Sasaab to run the Lewa Marathon on the 26th of June. It was a fantastic day and a huge success and we hope to run ourselves in the 2011 Westgate marathon!
