What it takes to organise a marathon
Running a marathon may take you a few hours, but it takes organisers months of prep and hundreds of thousands of shillings, if not millions.
For most runners, race day begins with a countdown. A few hours later, exhausted but fulfilled, they cross the finish line, collect their medal, take a picture to commemorate their win and head home.
