Trail running
Everyone can participate in this trip. The supervision, program, or group will be tailored to each person's level.
The expert's opinion
You don't need to be an experienced runner to participate. This trip is suitable for both recreational runners who want to discover Iten and Kenyan running, and experienced runners preparing for a specific goal. The coaching provided by Dominique Chauvelier and the local team adapts to each participant's profile: ability-based groups, individualized sessions, and personalized support.
Please note: the altitude (2,400 m) requires a few days of acclimatization. The program is designed to allow you time to adjust gradually.
And if your spouse or a close friend is not a runner, he/she is also welcome: many activities are planned on site.
Management
During this stay, a supervisor will be present to guide and assist you.
