The Shoe4Africa Loop is not a single, official running route, but rather a common and colloquial term used by athletes in Iten, Kenya, and is connected to the charitable work of the Shoe4Africa organization. As the "Home of Champions" for distance running, Iten has numerous routes and training camps where elite and aspiring runners train at high altitude.

​

Running in Iten is a communal experience. Both elite and novice runners train on the same dirt roads, which fosters a motivating and inspiring atmosphere. The "Loop" would be a key part of this shared experience.
