The Fourth Edition of To Hells Gate on a Wheelbarrooooooooow
is here! Held at the Hell's Gate National Park, Naivasha, this year’s event is
set to kick off from Friday 25th at 1400 hrs to Sunday 27th July, 2014. This is most grueling wheelbarrow race-cum-fundraiser
in the world. In 2012 the event featured a live music show, with The Villagers Band, Sauti Sol and Qwela, 2013 DJ Protégé, DJ Andre, DJ Crème & Sauti Sol were featured. This year, there will be lots of activities including a 2-night camping, corporate
team building challenge, corporate volleyball match, a wild bush
party as well as kids activities.
According to KWS, “Proceeds from the event will go towards
the construction of a fully equipped Conservation Education Centre in Hell’s
Gate National Park. The facility, once operational, will play a key role in the
mobilization of and sensitization of over one million inhabitants of local
communities in Naivasha on the importance of protecting and conserving wildlife
species, as well as educating them on alternative wildlife enterprise for their
economic benefit."
Last year’s event raised Ksh.9 million. See 2014 Participation details here.
