upcoming 2025 Kip Keino Classic

scheduled for May 31. This prestigious athletics meet, part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold series, has recently undergone a venue change and received significant financial backing, 🏟️ Venue Change to Ulinzi Sports Complex Originally slated for the Nyayo National Stadium, the event has been relocated to the Ulinzi Sports Complex in Langata. This decision was made due to the unavailability of the country's two main stadiums, with Nyayo Stadium failing to complete a new running track in time for the event. 💰 Major Sponsorship Boost In a significant show of support, Absa Bank Kenya has invested KES 60 million into the 2025 athletics calendar, including title sponsorship of this year’s Kip Keino Classic. This funding will aid in the planning and execution of the event, ensuring it maintains its status as a premier athletics meet. 🌍 International Stars Confirmed The event is set to feature a host of international and local athletics stars. Notably, Mujinga Kambundji, a two-time World Indoor champion, has confirmed her participation. The meet will also showcase Kenya's own sprint sensation, Ferdinand Omanyala, among other elite athletes
