The city's main sports venue is named after Kipchoge Keino, Kenya's first great Olympic champion and one of the runners who launched Eldoret's global reputation as a training ground. The stadium hosts athletics meetings, football matches, and public events, and is the symbolic heart of the city's sporting identity.
Training sessions are held on the track in the early mornings, and visitors with a genuine interest in athletics may be able to watch — or even join — sessions. The surrounding area has good footpaths for running along the ridges above town, used by athletes of all levels throughout the week.
