Description

One of the most popular running destinations in Kenya is The Ngong Hills. The Ngong Hills are actually peaks in a ridge along the Great Rift Valley, located 25KM only Southwest from Nairobi’s CBD. The word “Ngong” is an Anglicization of a Maasai phrase “enkong’u emuny” meaning rhinoceros spring, and this name derives from a spring located near Ngong Town.

The Ngong Hills, from the eastside slopes, overlook the Nairobi National Park and, off to the north, the city of Nairobi. The Ngong Hills, from the westside slopes, overlook the Great Rift Valley dropping over 1,000 m (3,281 ft) below.

This is home to the first wind farm in Kenya, The Ngong Hills Wind Power Station, and what a spectacular view from up here.

It is from here we shall start and finish the Ngong Windmills Trail Run/Biking event. We converge at Berra Lounge Hotel, 4KM from Ngong Town, a restaurant nested right up there.
