In addition, Prudential will also be the official life insurer of the day and is committed to helping runners feel confident and protected throughout their journey so they can focus on what truly matters: the finish line.

The 2025 sponsorship marks the third consecutive year that the insurer is supporting the family race. This underscores their commitment to health, protection, and building more resilient communities.

“We chose to sponsor the Family Run because it aligns with our vision of promoting healthier lifestyles through active living.

The 5km run goes beyond being a race; it allows parents, children, and loved ones to run side by side, making it a true celebration of family and community,” said Prudential Kenya CEO Gwen Kinisu.

“Beyond that, it is also an opportunity to support the incredible work being done through Futuremakers, an initiative of Standard Chartered Bank.”

“With Ksh130 million contributed by the Bank towards the event, we are looking forward to creating a great race experience this year that will increase social impact milestones in communities we work with through our Futuremakers initiative, as well as positively contribute to the economy.”
