Workation in Eldoret: the essentials
Many of the world's best distance runners train around Eldoret, a highland city in Kenya's Rift Valley region that sits above 2,000 metres. It began as a settler outpost early in the 20th century and received city status only in August 2024, by which time about 475,000 people lived here. Hospitals, universities and banks shape the economy, and the student population is the largest in the country outside Nairobi. Iten, the running town above the Kerio Valley, makes a close outing. Eldoret International Airport is about 15 km from town and is among Kenya's busiest for cargo, while foreign visitors away from the training camps are few.
