WE WENT BACK | Desert Run II 2026

In 2025, we drove 36 vehicles into the Chalbi Desert for the first time. A car rolled. 8 tyres shredded. 9 vehicles broke down. The desert nearly broke us. We called it Desert Run I. We came back anyway. --- Desert Run II — The Statement Edition. 1,200km through Northern Kenya. 20 vehicles. 40 Nomads. The Chalbi Desert, the Falam Desert, the Ndoto Mountains, and communities most Kenyans will never visit. We came to race on the world's largest natural racetrack. The desert had other plans. --- What happened instead became something we didn't expect — and couldn't have planned. This is the full story. --- IN THIS FILM: The convoy assembles at 4:30 AM and points north 1,200km through Kenya's most remote terrain The Chalbi Desert receives us — then sends us rain instead of a racetrack Desert football. A whole goat. The biggest bonfire in Mara Nomads history 99 Nomads raised KES 229,500 — we delivered food and books to 4 remote ECD schools The Falam Desert, the Ndoto Mountains, Ngurunit Springs No Nomad left behind --- Haven't seen Desert Run I?
