Training Camps Kenya was founded in 2012. After over 15 years of experience in Kenyan running, it was decided to set up training camps and make it possible for enthusiastic runners from all over the world to come to Kenya to train with the best athletes in the world. These training camps take place in the Mecca of Kenyan running, the village of Iten. Over 90% of all Kenyan (top) athletes come from this area or have come here to train. If you look around the village early in the morning, you can expect to see hundreds of athletes preparing for their morning training.
