London Marathon

The highly anticipated London Marathon 2025 will be taking place.

The 45th edition of the run, which takes athletes from Blackheath through Woolwich, Greenwich, across the Thames, around Canary Wharf and through the City of London to Buckingham Palace, takes place on Sunday, April 27, with a star-studded list of world-class athletes and celebrities set to take on the challenge.

Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge is returning to the London course, hoping to beat his younger rivals and etch his name in history books. Six men with sub-2:04 personal bests are going to race, meaning the event will be a very competitive one.

Kipchoge will be in action at 11:00 am.

Kenya Kwanza allies are today, Sunday, April 27, 2025, expected to hold a major harambee in Kisii, in what is widely seen as a strategic move to counter former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s growing political influence.

The fundraiser will support Marani Catholic Parish in Kitutu Chache North and will feature top government figures, including President William Ruto’s close aide, Farouk Kibet, who will be the Chief Guest.

Other allies of Ruto expected at the event include National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar, Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot, among others.

The event will be hosted by area MP and UDA National Treasurer Japheth Nyakundi, marking the latest in a series of high-profile fundraisers organised by influential Kenya Kwanza leaders across the country.

“This Sunday, 27th April 2025, I will be hosting a Mega Funds Drive in support of Marani Catholic Parish, in Kitutu Chache North Constituency, Kisii County,” Nyakundi wrote on Facebook.

“This special event will bring together distinguished national leaders and friends of our constituency. Our shared goal is to support meaningful development initiatives that uplift and empower our community.”
