Kenya Running Cultural Experience Tour

Kenya's East Africa is not only a wildlife paradise but also renowned as the kingdom of long-distance running, nurturing numerous world-class athletes. Among them, Iten stands out as Kenya's most famous training base for long-distance runners. Prominent athletes who have trained here include former Japanese marathon record holder Suguru Osako, European record holders Julien Wanders in the 10K and half-marathon, and former marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge.

Located in the East African Rift Valley at an elevation of 2,400 meters, Iten enjoys a unique geographical advantage and a consistently dry and stable climate throughout the year, making it ideal for long-distance running training. In addition to the local running teams, Iten attracts professional and amateur runners from around the world to engage in high-altitude training.

By joining SPORTIVERSE on a journey to Iten, Kenya, you will have the opportunity to experience high-altitude training designed by a national-level coaching team, immerse yourself in Kenya's running culture, and engage in close interactions with Olympic-level athletes. Additionally, you can participate in a series of immersive travel experiences, including traditional food preparation, visiting Kenyan families, and exploring national parks to track rhinos, lions, cranes, and other wildlife.
