The festival ensures that everyone has a chance to participate and enjoy the excitement. It is not just a competition but a community gathering about inclusivity, providing an excellent opportunity for cyclists from across the country to connect, share their passion, and enjoy a weekend of outdoor fun with activities designed to engage the whole family, creating lasting memories for all who attend.
NARO MORU TRAIL TRIAL
For those of you who have not been privy to one of the best kept secrets of the enchanting Mt Kenya slopes; the Naro Moru Trail Trial is a must for you. One of the Mt Kenya MTB mini-series is a delightful introduction to the challenges of cycling at higher altitude and being able to navigate the technical terrain of this region.
The event is set mostly within the boundaries of the Naro Moru River Lodge along the MTB Trails that have been carved out of forests surrounding the Lodge on a route designed to crisscross over the mountain fed river that traverses the Lodge’s grounds. The combination of the high altitude; 2000 metres, technical sections and the scenic single track trails will leave your heart pumping and body craving for more.
