“Heineken is immensely proud to be associated with the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon 2024, which offers a powerful platform to discover new athletics talent,” said Ms. Wasike.

Globally, Heineken 0.0 the non-alcohol brand is associated with big sporting events like Formula One. Ms. Wasike says Heineken 0.0 is committed to responsible drinking hence its association with sporting events.

We see it as “now you can,” explains Ms. Wasike
