Java House Granola Marathon & 10K Team Challenge 2026
BE HAPPY. BE YOUNG. BE FREE.
The Java House Granola Marathon & 10K Team Challenge isn’t just about crossing a finish line; it’s about coming together as a community, creating memories, and having fun along the way. Taking place on 24th January 2026 at Java House, Adams Arcade, this event brings runners together in teams of four, blending athletic challenges with an interactive experience throughout the route.
This isn’t your typical race—it's a celebration of community, with runners collecting stamps, enjoying Java House snacks, and creating moments to cherish long after the event ends. What makes this even more special is the presence of Henry Wanyoike, a Paralympic Gold Medalist, who will be joining the event as an ambassador. He will be there to inspire and motivate the participants. Peter Njenga, a celebrated long-distance runner, will also be present, guiding Henry and offering support to runners throughout the race.
Their stories of resilience and triumph are a testament to the spirit of the race. Henry’s courage and Peter’s expertise will inspire all runners to push their limits and finish strong.
