About the Marathon

More Than a Race.
Transformation.

The Proposed Hekima University Molo Marathon is a flagship sport, community and fundraising initiative organised in partnership with The Proposed Hekima University, partners and stakeholders.

The marathon will bring together elite athletes, corporate organisations, students, community leaders, and international partners in a professionally organised race that reflects the values of unity, service, peace, and human dignity.

Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of higher quality education and intellectual development, the Proposed Hekima University seeks to advance science, innovation, and social progress while contributing meaningful solutions to society's most pressing challenges.

The Proposed Hekima University therefore represents more than sport — it is a platform where athletics, higher quality education, research, and community empowerment come together to create long-term impact.

The Evolution

The Dream. The Progress. The Vision.

"The Proposed Hekima University is more than just a project; it is a promise of transformation etched into the hills of Molo. What began as a bold dream of Jesuit excellence is now taking shape — brick by brick, heart by heart. Our progress is visible in the rising foundations of our administration block, but our true vision lies in the thousands of lives that will be touched by higher quality education. We are building a sanctuary of knowledge where ethical leadership meets academic rigor, ensuring that tomorrow's leaders are equipped to navigate a changing world with wisdom and grace."
