<p>The first edition of the Laikipia and Beyond Unity Cup was an overwhelming success, with all ethnic groups present within Laikipia participated in the events in their thousands, either as spectators, contributors or players. Over 12,000 people received free medical treatment, primarily women and children, and permanent football pitches and other sports facilities were provided to four schools where no facilities previously existed.</p> <p>Throughout the whole event there was not a single disruptive incident either on or off the field, despite almost a thousand young men and women being brought together and living in close proximity, with thousands of their supporters attending. The behaviour and spirit shown by all teams was exemplary and a credit to the communities and institutions they represent.</p> <p> </p> <p>Download the full report from this 2010 edition on:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thelongrun.com/assets/519153673/230/Final%20LUC%20report.pdf">http://www.thelongrun.com/assets/519153673/230/Final%20LUC%20report.pdf</a></p> <p> </p> <p>And check out the LUC Facebook profile for pictures and a lot more:</p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=109130542463301&ref=ts">http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=109130542463301&ref=ts</a></p>Thirty-two football teams competed in hundreds of football matches in remote rural locations throughout Kenya's Laikipia district, home to Segera Long Run Destination and the headquarters of the Zeitz Foundation.
