A 5-kilometer fun run was held in Eldoret town before the Devolution Conference, and several governors and their deputies participated.

The race, including some top athletes and county employees, began at the Uasin Gishu County administrative building and finished at the Kipchoge Keino stadium after travelling around the town.

Only the governor of Trans Nzoia, George Natembeya, finished the marathon, as others withdrew.

The host governor Jonathan Bii and the West Pokot governor Simon Kachapin ran well and completed more than three kilometres before giving up.
