Find an example itinerary here. ​ There will also be several running related seminars, packed with information that will help bring your running to the next level. Whether it comes to training rules, how to get a winning mindset, or nutrition, there is nothing running related that our coaches can’t answer. ​ And offcourse we offer a variety of exciting activities such as meetings with (elite) runners, a visit to a traditional Kalenjin hut, a performance by local singers and dancers, or a visit to a the world famous St. Patrick’s high school and museum, to name a few. We also give you the great opportunity to add a 2-day wildlife safari to Nakuru including an overnight stay within the park for a very competitive price (note; this is optional and at an additional cost).

Yes, that is very possible! To extend your stay, you can find the rates of the Hub and the Lodge online . If needed we can also arrange a personal pacer for the extra days. If you want to leave early we will compensate per night left early at our standard rate.

On your day of arrival, you are picked up (from Eldoret airport) by one of our drivers and taken to your accommodation in Iten. ​ When flying to Kenya, you will land at JKIA (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport). From here you can take a connecting flight to Eldoret. We recommend using Jambojet airline. They fly 3-5 times per day. Check out www.jambojet.com for prices and the flight schedule. ​ Count on 3 hours between arrival at JKIA and departure to Eldoret. You generally need 1 hour to get through customs and to get your luggage, but sometimes it can take up to 2 hours. And also if you have a connecting flight, you still have to pick up your luggage and check it in again for the domestic flight. Check-in for your domestic flight should be done roughly 1 hour before departure. ​ In other words, if you arrive in Nairobi at 16.00, you may not be able to catch the last domestic flight of the day (which often departs at 18.30). In this case we recommend you book a hotel in Nairobi, and take a flight to Eldoret the following day. Kindly let us know if this is the case, then we will recommend you a trusted driver who picks you up and takes you to your hotel and picks you up again the following day. If you have to spend some hours at JKIA, we recommend going to Paul Caffe. It's a good place to relax and eat something, while they look after your luggage. It's also right in front of the check in hall for domestic flights. ​ Once you arrive at Eldoret Airport you will need to travel by car from the airport directly to our accommodation. For 35 euro we can arrange a trusted driver to meet you upon arrival so you don't have to worry about arranging this yourself. Simply let us know the time your flight is scheduled to arrive at Eldoret Airport and tell us that you require a transfer and we will ensure a driver is there to meet you. The journey time from Eldoret Airport to Iten is approximately one hour and ten minutes.
