From 3 Runners to 500+: How Emily Chepkor Built a City Movement

What if the thing that changes your life… isn’t part of the plan? In this episode, we sit down with Emily Chepkor, founder of We Run Nairobi—a community that began with just three people and has grown into a powerful movement bringing together hundreds across the city every weekend. Emily shares her journey from growing up in Kapsabet to pursuing law, and how life took an unexpected turn into endurance running, community building, and entrepreneurship. What started as a simple idea—“show up and run together”—quickly became something much bigger. We explore: * The reality of leaving behind a traditional career path. * How We Run Nairobi grew organically without marketing. * The role of community in a fast-paced, often disconnected city. * Why running is less about fitness and more about identity and belonging. * The challenges of scaling something that was never meant to be a business. * And how Emily is now navigating leadership, influence, and impact. This conversation is about reinvention, taking risks, and building something meaningful—without having all the answers.
