About the L.A.P Run

The L.A.P (Laban Ayiro Peter) Run is Daystar University's inaugural charity run, designed to raise scholarships for students facing financial hardship. On 7th March 2026, runners, walkers, students, staff, alumni, and the wider Nairobi community will come together at the Nairobi Arboretum for a morning of purpose, unity, and community.

  • Open to everyone — students, staff, alumni, and the wider community at all fitness levels.
  • All routes begin and finish at the Nairobi Arboretum.
  • Olympic legend Dr. Kipchoge Keino will officially flag off the race.
  • Proceeds fund scholarships, accessibility services, and campus upliftment programs.
  • Businesses, alumni, and friends of the university are invited to partner as sponsors.
  • Envisioned as an annual highlight on the University and Nairobi city calendar.

"The L.A.P Run is a celebration of unity, resilience, and compassion. As we launch this annual event, each step we take together will uplift dignity, support inclusion, and strengthen our community bonds."

— Prof. Laban P. Ayiro, Vice Chancellor, Daystar University
