THE NGONG HILLS WINDMILLS CHALLENGE
Run / Cycle / Walk

Fitflex Sportx Adventures is proud to present the 3rd edition of the Ngong Hills Windmills Challenge.

The Ngong Hills are a series of peaks along the Great Rift Valley, located approximately 20km southwest of Nairobi. The name “Ngong” is derived from the Maasai phrase “enkong’u emuny”, meaning “rhinoceros spring,” a reference to a spring located near Ngong Town.

From the Ngong Hills, you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view that includes the Nairobi National Park, the city of Nairobi, and the Great Rift Valley, which drops over 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) below. The area is also home to several Maasai villages. The highest peak of the Ngong Hills stands at 2,460 meters (8,071 feet) above sea level. This is also where you’ll find Kenya’s first wind farm, the Ngong Hills Wind Power Station, completed in 2015. The Kenya Forest Service provides guides and security for a small fee.

This stunning location will serve as the backdrop for the Ngong Hills Windmills Challenge, an event designed for runners, cyclists, and walkers. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience!

The well-marked and marshalled challenge route features a mix of murram and tarmac roads. Trail running or walking shoes are recommended for optimal comfort. The 25km, 21km and 14km routes will take you closer to the hills and windmills, offering a unique experience. Water points are strategically placed, with less than 5km between each.

All finishers will receive a beautifully designed medal. After the challenge, you can refresh your tired body with a swim in the event host’s swimming pool and enjoy a hearty breakfast.
