Iten, Kenya, is more than just a training destination; it is the legendary “Home of Champions.” For 2026, we are thrilled to expand our offering, providing even more opportunities for runners of all abilities to immerse themselves in Kenyan running culture.
Alongside our classic annual camps, we are officially launching two brand-new Special Edition camps designed for runners seeking specialised expertise and endurance challenges.
New for 2026: The Ultra Camp

For the first time, we are introducing a camp specifically tailored for the ultra-distance community. Whether you are stepping up to your first 50km or are a seasoned 100-mile veteran, this camp focuses on the endurance and resilience required for the long haul.
-
The Focus: Endurance development, long-run strategy, and high-volume training the Kenyan way.

The Experience: A 10-night full-board stay, supported by local Kenyan pacers on the iconic trails of the Rift Valley.
