Harambee is a swahili word literally meaning "all pull together." In homage to the inspirational distance running tradition of Kenya, we have adopted this concept as our theme for the 2009 season.This term was popularized by Kenya's first president, Joma Kenyatta in the 1960's. In that context, Harambee was a vision whereby Kenya would move forward as a nation when everyone helped carry the load toward a common goal of development. In our situation, it simply exemplifies the value of individual commitment toward achieving a larger group goal.
