What Our Runners Say
Read Independent Reviews from Our Guests
Ever since reading ‘Running with the Kenyans’ by Adharanand Finn a few years ago I’ve wanted to visit Iten in Kenya.
I dreamed of running on dirt roads with local athletes and becoming immersed in the area’s rich running history and culture. Last month, I spotted a last minute annual leave opportunity at work and decided to act on my dream.
I came across an organised two-week camp that suited my availability called ‘Kenya Camp’ and reached out to the owner Hugo van den Broek to enquire. As I was travelling by myself, one of my main priorities was personal safety. After a few emails with Hugo I felt confident of the set-up and booked a place at the camp. ”
One of the highlights for me was meeting Eliud Kipchogue. Thank you for this opportunity"
