The race organisers, led by Barnaba Korir, disclosed that they had planned for about 1000 kids but then a larger number turned out and they had to send some youngsters home.
However, he promised that going forward, Athletics Kenya will be keen to organise events that will host as many athletes as they can to avoid such inconveniences.

Against the backdrop of cheering spectators and the picturesque landscape of Lobo Village, the children dashed across the finish line one by one, their faces beaming with pride and accomplishment.
Regardless of the final standings, each participant emerged a winner, having conquered both physical challenges and personal goals.
