Please note:

All race distances are approximate as routes may change from year to year due to local conditions and weather. Distances will be updated once the final routes are confirmed, and route maps will be available in various digital formats, including Strava.

We reviewed the minimum age limits for the main race categories for the 2024 event, and it remains the responsibility of the parent or guardian of each child under the age of 18 to ensure that s/he (the child) is suitably experienced and has the stamina for whichever race they enter.

ALL children under 12 years old competing in the Slide MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times. If they go through a water stop or finish their race alone they will be disqualified, as will the adult who should have been riding with them. The mountain is a challenging and potentially dangerous environment, with tough terrain and wild animals, and it's no place for a child to be riding through without a responsible adult by their side.

Bike drop and rider transport service will be offered for Day 2 riders. If you sign up for this when you register to race, you will drop your bike at Event Check-In on the Friday afternoon/evening and it will be transported overnight to the Start point ready for the following day's races.

The following day, if you book rider transport you'll get a bus from Borana Race Village to the Start Line at Kisima. Otherwise, you'll need to find your own way up to the Start point in good time to collect your bike before your race starts.

You can book Bike Drop and Rider Transport as add-ons once you've registered to race, and full details of locations and timings will be confirmed prior to the event.

Online registration is just the first step and all riders (including those entered in the Mini10to4) will be required to check-in in person during the run up to the weekend.

We will be offering pre-event check-in for ALL EVENTS and would GREATLY encourage you to take advantage of this if you can and avoid the queues! Details of times and locations will be published nearer the time, so you can come along at your convenience to check yourself in (and your family) and collect your pre-allocated bike tag, 10to4 t-shirt and other goodies. If you're unable to attend one of the pre-event sessions, you can ask a friend or family member to complete your check-in but you MUST have completed your Waiver and Medical Form and submitted it electronically or given a printed copy to your proxy.

As always there will be pre-race check-in at the weekend (details to follow), but we really want to keep the queues down so please assist us with this by checking in earlier if you can. Either way, you can speed up the process if you complete your Waiver and Medical Form before you come along.

A full event schedule will be published nearer the time and shared with all participants in advance of the event. This will include details of pre-event check-in, bike drop and rider transport, race briefings, start times, and prize giving. We do not have this information ahead of the time it's published so please don't get in touch about timings before then.

That said:

Day 1 (Friday) - Hardcore (Extreme) and Wild Ride (Wild) races will start at approx. 7:30am

Day 2 (Saturday) - Classic (including Extreme and Wild), Rush, Swift and Slide races will start from approx. 8:30am

You can raise sponsorship money from friends, family and colleagues to cover your race fee, and you can also apply to the Mount Kenya Trust Sponsorship Programme for a discounted fee. Every year, competitors donate to this fund to allow us to support young Kenyan riders who can't raise the full race fee. For more details, please visit the Sponsorship page.

Accuracy of Information

The Mount Kenya Trust has made every possible effort to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and validity of the content on the 10to4 website and will not accept any liability whatsoever for any form of loss, damage or inconvenience arising from any errors or omissions that may occur. The use of MKT 10to4 website is entirely at the user’s own risk. MKT is not responsible in any way for the content of any third party or linked websites and recommends that the terms and conditions of those sites be reviewed.

Emergency evacuation cover is mandatory. No Entrant will be permitted to race unless they have valid cover.

Without this, emergency medical evacuation can cost over $4000, which must be paid BEFORE treatment or flight. In an emergency, if there are issues with payment, this can be life-threatening.

If you already have AMREF or rescue.co cover, you will be asked to provide your membership number on your 10to4 Race Registration Form. If you don't have cover, you can purchase it as an add-on when you register.

You are not required to have health insurance but it is strongly recommended that you consider this.

All competitors must complete and submit a medical form and a waiver before competing. You will not be allowed to start a race without having done this.

Waivers can be found at the bottom of the Terms and Conditions page.

The medical form can be accessed here.

Borana Race Village will once again be open for camping as usual. Full details will be published in the next few weeks, and you can book camping when you register to race.
