La Clinique Du Coureur, in partnership with the Kechei centre in Iten, Kenya, offers an immersion in the land of champions, where running is a true way of life, often from a very young age. This trip is reserved for health and training professionals.
Eliud Kipchoge, Peres Jepchirchir, David Rudisha, Faith Kipyegon… Do these names ring a bell? They all come from Kenya, a country whose deeply rooted running culture has produced many international champions. In the heart of the Rift Valley, the village of Iten offers an exceptional setting for altitude training, 2,400 m above sea level.
You will understand it as soon as you arrive: while physiology plays a part in the success of Kenyan runners, it is also their environment that prepares and conditions them for excellence. Here, competition is fierce and running is much more than a hobby: it is a true driving force in life.
Following the success of our previous editions, it was unthinkable not to renew this exceptional adventure on the African continent. True to its commitment, La Clinique Du Coureur is dedicated to offering an experience that lives up to its quality standards. Experience 3.0 invites you to go further, in your life as well as in your professional practice.
Who hasn't dreamed of getting this close to endurance athletes of this calibre, sharing their daily life for the length of a stay and drawing valuable lessons from it?
It took daring, and La Clinique Du Coureur did it: organizing the first official trail race in Kenya, in the heart of Iten, recognized by the local authorities. You will have the privilege of taking part in this unique race in the Rift Valley: 25 km of marked trails and 1,000 m of elevation gain, through rolling rural landscapes, alongside the region's runners.
Your race bib is included in your registration. Get ready for an authentic, demanding and extraordinary race, facing Kenyan runners who have come to test themselves against the best.
You will come back deeply moved, and your view of running will never be the same.
