CFAO Mobility Kenya Fuels the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon with KES 2 Million Sponsorship

CFAO Mobility Kenya, the country’s leading mobility solutions provider, has been unveiled as the official mobility partner of the Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon, Kenya’s biggest marathon race, sealing the partnership at a cheque handover ceremony held at the CFAO Mobility Showroom in Nairobi. The commitment: a KES 2 million sponsorship and a fleet of eight vehicles that will lead runners across every category of this year’s race.

The lead fleet brings together the breadth of the CFAO Mobility portfolio: four Toyota vehicles for proven reliability on the course, two Suzuki for agile route navigation, a Yamaha motorcycle for close, responsive race-day support, and, as the standout of the line-up, a BYD Shark plug-in hybrid pick-up. Together, they will guide thousands of runners through the city’s streets, supporting athlete safety, pacesetting and route management from start to finish.

The partnership is more than a logistics arrangement; it is a public demonstration of CFAO Mobility’s vision to be Kenya’s preferred mobility solutions provider in a sustainable environment. By placing the fully electric Toyota B24X and the plug-in hybrid BYD Shark at the front of the pack, CFAO Mobility puts electrified mobility on full display in one of the country’s most-watched sporting events, turning race day into a live showcase of the cleaner, smarter mobility future the company is building for Kenya.

“Mobility enables opportunity. It connects people to businesses, businesses to markets, communities to services, and individuals to their ambitions,” said Joshua Anya, Deputy Managing Director, CFAO Mobility Kenya. “The Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon brings together runners driven by resilience, discipline and determination the same values that drive CFAO Mobility every day. Leading this race with a fleet that includes the first Toyota EV, the BZ4X, and the BYD plug-in hybrid model, this is a true statement of intent: this is the kind of mobility Kenya deserves, and it is the future CFAO Mobility is committed to delivering, on the road and off it.”

This sponsorship builds on CFAO Mobility’s wider investment in Kenyan sporting talent, including its ongoing partnership with African 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala, a fellow ambassador of discipline, resilience and peak performance. A number of CFAO Mobility staff will also lace up and take part in the marathon, running alongside the very community the brand exists to serve.

As Kenya’s leading mobility solutions provider, CFAO Mobility continues to back the platforms that inspire health, ambition and sustainable progress across the country. From the showroom to the start line, this partnership reinforces CFAO Mobility’s place at the heart of all consumer journeys, big and small, that keep Kenya moving forward.
