About the Camp
F14 – Samuel Kiprono Chepkwony Farm, Londiani, Kenya
High in the mist-covered uplands of Londiani, at an altitude of about 2,500 meters, this farm benefits from cool temperatures and generous rainfall between 1,100 and 1,200 mm each year. Its rich volcanic soil produces firm, flavorful potatoes prized across the KATA system. Samuel Chepkwony’s farm supports the KATA Running Camp program through dependable harvests and sustainable growth.
KATA Potato Farms – Fueling Champions Across Kenya
Stretching across Kenya’s fertile highlands, the KATA Potato Farms form the agricultural backbone of the KATA Run
ning Camp Program — where performance meets purpose.
Each farm contributes to the mission of “KATA Potatoes – The Fuel of Champions,” cultivating nutrient-rich Shangi potatoes that nourish both athletes and the communities around them.
Situated between 1,800 and 2,800 meters in altitude, these farms thrive in regions known for their cool temperatures, fertile volcanic soils, and dependable rainfall averaging 900–1,200 mm per year.
This natural balance makes Kenya’s highlands among the most ideal environments in the world for both potato cultivation and distance-runner development.
Every KATA farm not only grows potatoes but also supports a local KATA Running Camp, forming a self-sustaining system where agriculture and athletics work hand in hand.
Together, these farms provide both the fuel and the foundation for the next generation of world-class champions.
