COMMUNITY
Nakuru Athletic Club's rich rugby heritage and commitment to community sporting initiatives.
A Legacy of Excellence
Founded in 1926, Nakuru Athletic Club began as a gathering place for sports enthusiasts. The club's rugby legacy is grounded on partnerships whereby it provided sporting grounds for rugby tournaments.
