On August 11, Uhuru Garden will host the Plascon Colour Run, a charity event that has grown in popularity since its launch in 2015.
Organized by Sports For Change Kenya Limited, the event aims to raise funds for disadvantaged but academically gifted youths, supporting their education fees and costs through high school and college education.
NTV, one of Kenya's leading Free to Air TV channels, has partnered with Sports For Change for this year's event, which will be broadcast live on NTV.
According to Nickson Kirwa, NTV's head of marketing, 'What better way can we celebrate with our viewers than with a colourful run? We are pleased with this partnership and we call out to all our viewers to come and have fun on this day, meet and engage with NTV stars as well as be on live TV!'
The five-kilometre Fun Run will be followed by a 'Finish Festival' suitable for the entire family, featuring a music/dance party, zumba and aerobics sessions, fun games, and colour throws.
This year's event will also include an exciting 'Coloured Bubble Zone' which will be experienced for the first time in Kenya.
