| Children display their bibs for Chepsaita Run |
Parents have been strongly encouraged to support the sporting talents of their children, as the second edition of the Chepsaita Cross Country Run draws near.
The event, which will take place this Saturday, promises to be an exciting and impactful occasion, with athletes from various categories coming together to showcase their skills.
AK Youth Development Director, Barnabas Korir, expressed his admiration for the overwhelming turnout of parents accompanying their children to collect their bibs at designated locations.
"It’s truly heartening to see so many parents supporting their children in this journey. Their presence today is a clear indication of how much they value athletics and are invested in their children's dreams," Korir remarked while overseeing the bib issuance at Eldoret Sports Club.
He further emphasized that building the country's future champions requires a collective effort, urging both communities and families to come together to nurture young talent.
"Developing these athletes is not just the work of the federation or coaches alone—it’s a joint initiative. Parents, teachers, and local communities all have a role in shaping these young stars," Korir said.
As the event gathers momentum, the turnout has been impressive for both elite and open categories, signaling a strong future for athletics in the region. The excellent organization and support from various stakeholders, including parents, make it clear that the Chepsaita Cross Country Run is set for success.
