The People Behind the Mission

From Olympic champions to grassroots coaches, our team is united by a shared commitment to transforming young lives through athletics.

Stephen Ndungu - Founder of MKTDC

Stephen Ndungu

Founder & Director

Stephen Ndungu is the founder and driving force behind Mt. Kenya Talents Development Centre. A world marathon runner and renowned pacemaker known as the 'King Maker', Stephen started the club in July 1998 after young runners from underprivileged backgrounds approached him for help.

His vision has guided MKTDC from a small training group to an internationally recognized NGO that has produced Olympic champions and world-class athletes.

John Ngugi - Olympic Champion

John Ngugi

Olympic Champion & Goodwill Ambassador

John Ngugi is an Olympic Champion and serves as MKTDC's Goodwill Ambassador. His legendary career and dedication to developing young talent make him an invaluable part of the MKTDC family.

I remember when I was in primary school, people told me I couldn't run. There are always people saying you can't do it, and those people have to be ignored.
