AK: Kids’ athletics to feature in Kip Keino Classic
Girls take part in a huddle shuttle relay race during this year’s World Kids Athletics Day held at St Agatha Mokwo Girls Secondary School in Keiyo South, Elgeyo Marakwet County on May 07, 2025.
Coach Boniface Tiren added that the event not only promotes activity and fun but also helps children understand their strengths and interests in athletics.
“The event would also inspire the younger generation to embrace sports and when they join the junior category, they will be able to identify on which events to participate in,” said Tiren.
The World Kids’ Athletics Day was marked on Wednesday with a vibrant display of energy and enthusiasm from over 1,300 children aged between four and 14 years.
The event, celebrated globally, took place in Kenya at St Agatha Mokwo Girls High School in Elgeyo Marakwet County and simultaneously in Makueni County.
