From this height, it looks like a masterpiece. On the ground, it’s where dreams are forged and champions are made. There is a specific kind of magic in the dust of this track—a rhythm that has shaped the fastest legs on the planet.

Witnessing the grind from a new perspective. 🦅🏁

🏟️ TRACKS IN ITEN - KENYA 🇰🇪

With the current renovation of Kamariny Stadium until July 2026 🚧 the available tracks options around Iten are:

CHEPKOILEL UNIVERSITY TRACK
Located 28 km from Iten, dirt track of good quality where Kipchoge is sometimes training

ANNEX TRACK (picture above Yohan Zaradzki)
Located 40 km from The Swiss Side, this dirty track is offering quality ground.

KIPSOEN TRACK
Located 5 km from Iten, this track is definitely not flat and very basic, but can be used for some threshold work.

Have you already run on one of those tracks ? Which one have you preferred ?
