A Place to Shine
In 2023, the Great Chepsaita Cross Country Run had its first-ever event, a remarkable achievement for the organizers. The event is held annually at Chepkemel Secondary School in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County and is open to amateur and seasoned athletes. The event inspires people of all ages, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and passions.
Run for Education
In this year's edition, we are taking the opportunity to make a difference and give back to the Chepsaita community.
Our mission is simple — to run for education.
In addition to the cash prizes for the winners, the first 100 finishers for each race will receive scholarships that will be awarded to the needy children in the Chepsaita Community.
You can run to win your own scholarship, your child's scholarship, or another needy child. If you don’t have anyone to award the scholarship to, you can leave it up to the Chepsaita organisers to identify the deserving candidate. The Chepsaita organisers will ensure the scholarships go to the right schools to pay for the selected children's education.
If you are an organisation or individual runner who wants to participate in providing scholarships, you can sign up for the PARTICIPATING PARTNER package.
Let’s run to win and gift a scholarship.
