A Place to Shine
In 2023, the Great Chepsaita Cross Country Run held its inaugural event, marking a significant achievement for the organisers. This annual event, held at Chepkemel Secondary School in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, is open to both amateur and seasoned athletes.
The turnout for the 2024 edition was remarkable, with participants, including senior citizens, receiving various awards and drawing national attention.
This year's event was designed to enhance the livelihood of the host community by sponsoring education for children and supporting the dreams of tomorrow’s leaders.
