Description
Ngong hills is the home of most of the Kenyan athletic champions like former 2003 world marathon record holder Paul Tergat, 4 times Boston marathon Champions and many others. Now you have the chance to train amongst these world class runners and feel the elite vibe in this unique running hub.
Ngong Hills is 2200 m above sea level and you can spot runners any time of the day ,this is a good place with different weather condition… cold, hot and mist day. Running above 2200m above sea level, is a great way you can try to run in high altitude while enjoying the view of Nairobi city and the plains of Maasai land.
On this half day trip you will train with the elite, breathe in the atmosphere of being surrounded by world class runners and of course ask all your questions about training, running technique, race tactics etc.
This tour is a unique opportunity to meet the world running elite and meet people who truly live and breathe running. The tour is fully adjusted to your abilities and is a great experience regardless of whether you are at elite yourself or have just gotten into running. You will also have the chance to visit Ngong Town which is a quiet and busy town.
Flexible: Tour distance will be adjusted according to fitness level but guests can expect to run 1-2 hours. (half day trip)

I recommend this tour and expereince so highly for both professional and amatuer runners. Daniel and his friends very welcoming and fun to run with. Daniel is such a nice person and was so genuine, motivated and interesting. I learnt so much about all areas of running and what makes the Kenyan runners champions. Such humble and passionate people. The altitude is a good challenge for fitness but scenery and fresh air is well worth it.
I recommend this very highly to anyone. Cheers Daniel. See you Soon!

This is an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone. Daniel is a great guide – friendly, informative, offering a few tips here and there but also just letting the experience speak for itself. I would run with him any time (he’s also a great photographer – don’t worry about trying to capture everything yourself, Daniel sent me 50+ great pictures as soon as we were done).
The Ngong hills are incredibly beautiful, and it is a profound feeling to know you are running where so many of the all-time greats have trained. The run is HARD (hills, altitude, dirt trails, etc.), but that is what you sign up for, and that is what makes it special. I am writing this the day after, and I am sore, but in a good way.
This was honestly one of the coolest things I have ever done. If you are thinking about it, do it!

I had the pleasure of meeting and running with Daniel, he is a great person and a true Champion, I will always recommend Train with the Kenyans because it’s an unforgettable experience, to talk and run along with such a great person, time fly’s while we were running. Next time I’m in Nairobi I will run with the Kenyans again and I hope everyone does too!

I enjoyed this tour SO much! My friend and I both signed up while visiting Nairobi and we were picked up by a driver from our hotel and brought to meet Daniel and his team in Ngong. We were then able to go off on our run and we both really enjoyed it. We were actually able to run at different paces because Daniel was with his team and so we could split up a little. The scenery was spectacular, the trails wonderful to run on and it was fascinating to chat to Daniel as we ran. We were able to pick exactly our paces and duration, plus Daniel took me on a couple of extra loops so that we were able to keep joining up as a group again. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience (including going for some Kenyan tea after our run!) and I’d recommend it to any runner visiting Nairobi! Thanks Daniel!
