Kenya Camp Opens Registration for 2026 High-Altitude Running Experience in Iten

Beyond the romance and Instagram mythology of high-altitude running lies a harder truth: performance is built through discipline, environment, and consistency. Kenya Camp’s Running Camp in Iten strips away the hype and brings runners face-to-face with the conditions that have shaped the world’s greatest distance athletes for decades.

Set at 2,400 metres (7,800 feet) in the Rift Valley highlands, Iten is not a destination designed for comfort—it is designed for progress. Kenya Camp invites runners to choose between a one- or two-week immersive program, offering a rare opportunity to train, live, and recover in the same environment that has forged Olympic champions and world record holders.

Participants train daily alongside elite Kenyan pacers, learning rhythm, efficiency, and humility in equal measure. Sessions are professionally structured and personalized, guided by experienced coaches who understand altitude physiology—not as theory, but as lived practice. Runners are supported through tailored workouts, technical guidance, and insightful seminars that explore endurance, recovery, mindset, and long-term development.

Life at Kenya Camp extends beyond the track. Accommodation at The Hub or The Lodge provides a quiet, recovery-focused environment, while authentic meals at local restaurants introduce runners to the simple, nutrient-rich diet that fuels Kenyan athletes. All logistics—from airport transfers via Eldoret, to daily transport for training and cultural activities—are fully managed, allowing athletes to focus entirely on adaptation and performance.

Each runner receives a limited-edition Kenya Camp running shirt, professional action photography, and a fully planned itinerary that balances intensity with exploration and rest. Daily meals, snacks, tea, coffee, and fresh fruit are included, reinforcing the camp’s philosophy: remove distractions, respect the process.

Kenya Camp is led by Coach Hugo, who brings over 24 years of experience living and coaching in Kenya. His long-term immersion in the Kenyan running ecosystem has shaped a camp built on trust, realism, and results. The program welcomes runners of all abilities—elite, competitive amateur, and passionate recreational athletes alike—united by one requirement: a genuine commitment to running.
