Kenya Experience

Throwback to March 2011! 🎥🇰🇪

Way back when, we launched our very first Kenya Experience running camp. We had 6 runners join us for the maiden voyage, including Finn, who was gathering stories for his award-winning book Running With The Kenyans.

Since that unforgettable start, we’ve been privileged to welcome hundreds of runners from all over the world to experience the magic of Iten.

Ever wondered what it’s actually like to train in the undisputed Home of Champions? 🥇🇰🇪

We sat down with our camp leader, W***y Songok, right here in the heart of Iten, Kenya, to talk about the magic behind this small town.

At 2,400 meters above sea level, Iten isn't just a place to run - it's a global phenomenon.

From the challenging red dirt roads to the culture of excellence that keeps running legends coming back to these trails, W***y breaks down why this town has been the epicentre of distance running for decades.

It’s more than just geography; it’s a lifestyle, a history, and an inspiration. Listen in as W***y shares his insights on why the world’s best continue to emerge from these very hills.

From Iten to London: Why you want W***y Songok by your side! 🇰🇪🇬🇧

This weekend, W***y Songok got to be part of history... here he is with the new world record holder, Sebastian Sawe. 🏃‍♂️💨

Every year, W***y plays a vital role behind the scenes at the London Marathon, ensuring the athletes can focus entirely on performing at their best. Whether it’s navigating a busy press schedule, ensuring they have the exact nutrition they need, or simply creating a calm, relaxing environment amidst the chaos, W***y is always there to help.

While we know it was intense training and sheer dedication that set that record, we like to think W***y’s expert support in London was the secret ingredient!

Huge congrats to Sebastian on the record, and thank you, W***y, for everything you do to keep our team moving forward.
