About the Camp
F16 – Aron Kiplangat Rutto Farm, Nakuru, Kenya
Situated in the productive farmlands of Nakuru County at around 1,950 meters in altitude, Aron Rutto’s farm benefits from moderate rainfall of about 900 mm per year. The rich volcanic soil and steady climate make it a reliable contributor to the KATA network, supporting both agriculture and athletic development in the region.
KATA Farms – Fueling Champions Across Kenya
Stretching across Kenya’s fertile highlands, the KATA Potato Farms form the agricultural backbone of the KATA Running 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.
