Visit to home of champions, Kenya

From a surprisingly small area in Kenya most of their world class runners has derived. 2400m above sea level on the edge of the rift valley lays the village Iten with beautiful views overlooking the Kerio valley. This site brings runners from all over the world to come and figure out the secret behind the Kenyan success story. Dr Balozi from Chepkoilel University was kind enough to show me around in the neighborhoods of Eldoret. The town of Eldoret is apparently growing at a very fast phase and I was told that most of the new multistory buildings popping up in the city are owned by successful runners.
