All is set for the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, where a host of Kericho athletes will join the rest of the athletes from around the world in competing in various disciplines.
Kericho’s Bernard Koech will participate in the 10,000-metre race, while Alex Kipngetich Ngeno and Ferguson Rotich will take part in the 800-metre race.

“Our Kericho athletes adequately prepared for the championships through rigorous training, and I am confident they will come back with medals,” added Kiptoo.
