The panoramic Nakuru Athletics Club has marked 100 years of existence with pomp and color.

The heavily patronized club popularly known as NAC is one of the oldest sports clubs in Kenya that existed under the colonial regime.

Indigenous Kenyans would not be allowed to use the facility then, so they would use the African Sports Stadium now referred to as Afraha Stadium.

Speaking during the centennial celebrations, an ecstatic club chairman Dr Victor Achoka said it had been a century of learning, progress and growth filled with immense contributions from individuals who had been committed to the excellence of the great club. "We have held a lot of activities prior to the event that have been part of the 100 years' milestone," he added.
