We are thrilled to be able to play a part in what turned out to be a history making weekend.

Thank to all our partners & supporters.

The Kenya Marathon Dinner has been held every year since 1998 in honor of the Elite Athletes from Kenya participating in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

The purpose of the dinner is to welcome these gifted runners to the city of Chicago in true Kenyan hospitality and to give Chicago Kenyans and friends of Kenya an opportunity to meet and socialize with them. We always look forward to highlighting their achievements and also expressing our communityโ€™s appreciation for the exceptional image they portray for the East African nation.

The Kenya Marathon Dinner attracts a diverse group of runners and supporters from outside the Kenyan community. The guests usually relish the chance to enjoy various aspects of Kenyan culture including the authentic Kenyan cuisine and various arts and entertainment.

Various local high school and collegiate track & field teams have attended the event before which gives them a chance to socialize with the elite athletes of the highest caliber.
