World Class Marathoners Run to Celebrate UNEP’s 40th Anniversary

How did the United Nations Environment Agency celebrate its 40th anniversary?

By staging a half-marathon in Nairobi, Kenya, where UNEP is based, and inviting two of the world’s best distance runners to join the mere mortals who raced.

The two were Patrick Makau, the current world record holder for the marathon, and Paul Tergat, who held the record from 2003 til 2007.

Both are Kenyans.
