The Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) and Athletics Kenya (AK) have launched the "Magical Kenya Mountain and Trail Series," meant to position the country as a tourist destination.
This is a new six-event initiative that is set to culminate with the Barngetuny Mountain Run in Nandi County on Saturday, 18 January.
Speaking during the flagging off of the Trail Series at the top of Nyahururu's Thompson Falls gorge in Nyahururu town, Head of Public Service Felix Kosgei and Tourism Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano said the series is designed to showcase the country's stunning landscapes through a series of mountain and trail running events and position the countryside as a tourist destination.
The duo, who were also flanked by Tinderet Member of Parliament Julius Melly, said the event also aims to position Kenya as a global hub for sports tourism.
