Where PBs Are Born at 2,400m

Iten isn't just a start line — it's the training ground that's shaped generations of champions. Thin air, rolling red-dirt roads, and a running culture baked into daily life. Show up, put in the miles alongside the locals, and leave with the kind of mojo that no flat-course PB can give you.
