Congratulations are in order for Faith Kipyegon for smashing the World Record in 3:49.11 at the Diamond League meet in Florence, Italy. She broke the previous mark, 3:50:07, run by Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia in 2015, by almost a second.

We would like to pass out most sincere applauds to all the participants and organizers of the just concluded Iten International marathon. We share a lot in common it being a environmental conservation awareness race just like what we do in Kakamega.

When the marathon is about environmental conservation, there are no racial, national or individual boundaries, it's everyone's business because every little shift in climate change affects all of us.

KENYA ESCAPES DOPING BAN!!
Speculation that Athletics Kenya will be barred from international competition was proved unfounded on Wednesday (Nov 30) when World Athletics president Seb Coe said the country has escaped a ban but will continue to sit on an anti-doping ‘watch list’.
Speaking at a World Athletics council press conference in Rome, Coe said the large number of top Kenyan athletes to test positive for drugs was “concerning” but the nation will not receive a Russian-style suspension due to, among other things, a pledge by the Kenyan government to plough $5 million per year into anti-doping efforts over the next five years.
