About the Camp

KATA Running Camp – Nyandarua, Kenya

Operated by: Peter Njoroge
KATA ID: 04

The KATA Running Camp in Nyandarua, Kenya, stands as the fourth official satellite program in the expanding KATA Running Camps network. Set amidst the scenic farmlands between the Aberdare Range and the Great Rift Valley, Nyandarua provides ideal high-altitude conditions—cool mornings, rolling hills, and open country roads perfect for endurance training.

Under the leadership of Peter Njoroge, the camp has become a strong example of KATA’s philosophy in action. Athletes train together daily, guided by principles of discipline, teamwork, and consistency. The program emphasizes structured workouts, balanced nutrition, and active recovery, ensuring every athlete has the opportunity to grow toward their personal best.

True to KATA’s integrated model, the Nyandarua camp is connected to a KATA Potato Farm, where runners dedicate part of their week to farming activities. This approach not only promotes sustainability but also teaches self-reliance and teamwork beyond athletics.

The KATA Nyandarua Camp (K04) embodies the spirit of the KATA mission—to combine world-class training with community impact, helping athletes cultivate both speed on the road and stability in life.

Rising Talent Shines at KATA Nyandarua 10K Time Trial

The cool high-altitude air of Nyandarua — sitting at approximately 2,400 meters (7,874 feet) above sea level — provided a challenging yet inspiring setting on October 15, 2025, as athletes from Bob Anderson’s KATA Running Camp – Nyandarua (K04) tested their endurance in a 10K time trial. Under the direction of Coach and Operator Peter Njoroge, the runners displayed exceptional commitment, focus, and steady improvement — hallmarks of the KATA philosophy.

Leading the charge was Peter Kamau (Bib 020), who crossed the finish line in 31:45, followed closely by James Githengu (Bib 061) in 32:15. Antony Kingori (Bib 009) secured third with 34:20, while Moses Maina (Bib 091) and Hillary Mwangi (Bib 098) rounded out the top five. Despite the thin air and rolling course, several athletes achieved personal bests, proving the benefits of consistent altitude training.

Coach Njoroge commended his team, saying, “Our athletes are learning that consistency and discipline create results. Every trial brings them closer to championship form.”

KATA Founder Bob Anderson added, “The Nyandarua KATA family continues to impress. It’s not just about fast times — it’s about building the foundation of champions through effort and teamwork.”
