Building the Future of Distance Running

These results highlight the growing strength of the KATA Running Camp program, which combines world-class training with the support of KATA Potato Farms to sustain the athletes. Bob Anderson’s vision—uniting athletics with agriculture—is fueling opportunities for runners across Kenya, including satellite locations like Kapsait.

“Time trials like today’s are an important part of our program,” said camp operator Fredrick Kiprotich. “They allow athletes to test themselves against one another, build confidence, and prepare for upcoming competitions.”

From Kapsait to camps across Kenya, the KATA initiative continues to empower athletes and develop the next generation of champions.
