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.

  • Special Guests: Train alongside guest athletes Lydia Oldham and Antonella Ciaramella.

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