MKTDC Programme
Train with Champions
An extraordinary opportunity to train alongside Kenya's elite athletes and experience the secrets of East African distance running.
The Programme
Run Where Champions Are Made
The Train with Champions programme offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train with some of Kenya's greatest athletes at the foot of Mt. Kenya. This is not a spectator experience — you will live, eat, and train alongside Olympic medallists and world-class runners in the highlands that have produced generations of distance running legends.
Based in Nyeri, at an altitude of over 1,800 metres, you'll experience the same training environment and routines that have shaped world record holders. From dawn runs on red-earth trails to recovery sessions overlooking the mountain, every moment is designed to immerse you in Kenya's unrivalled running culture.

"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."
