Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon

Great run

Well, I am a Kenyan, so I should be writing a glowing tribute for this marathon, but the team that organizes it is highly disorganized. They sent me the wrong account details to pay. They then sent me the correct details without even a simple apology. I paid, after which they requested for my phone number in order to register me. I provided the phone number as requested, but I was later called by yet another person, inviting me to attend their elite, 10 KM race because of my great performance in the 2019 10 KM race. I told this person that I had already been invited and paid. They asked for my email address, promised to check the email messages I had sent after payment, and which had never been replied to and subsequently register me. However, I was surprised to find that I hadn't been registered when I went for the running kit. Even knowing where to go for the kit was a challenge. I had to get that info from other blogs because it's not listed on the marathon's official website. I am supposed to run tomorrow (31-Oct-2021), and I had a very hard time yesterday as I sought information about the kind of COVID-19 test (rapid or PCR) that I needed to take. Their number did not go through, and they don't respond to email messages. I'd give them a zero rating if I could.

I ran the 2018 and 2019 10 KM races. They were just as disorganized as they are now.

I have experienced more ways and tactics of running and how to organize your self in the starting line and also management and time is so much considered
