Geoffrey Korir

Geoffrey place second at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in the junior men's division.  Not only did he learn self-discipline in running, but training with the club also motivated him to complete his education. Geoffrey provides a model for the other club members of how their perseverance can pay off.

Beatrice Chepkirui

Beatrice is an inspiration to all the runners in the club. As a first year student she was last in the school over 5000m. Instead of letting her poor performance discourage her, she used it to motivate her. She trained every day, even when she was at home and didn't have any classmates around to push her. Her hard work paid off. As a second year student she not only became the best 5000m runner in the school, she became one of the best in the province. After graduating she went on to place second in the 3000m at the U-18 World Championships.

Kipkorir Langat

Kipkorir graduated from high school thanks to a scholarship from Elimu Strive. When he was in primary school, which is free in Kenya, Kipkorir never thought he would be able to even attend high school. He says that his whole outlook on life changed when he got a scholarship his sophomore year. He now believes anything is possible in life, and you can see that belief in his work ethic and positive personality. After graduating he opened a small business and has worked to improve his life.

Jessica Chepkemoi

Jessica has a genuine passion for running. She wanted to run in primary school, but she never had the chance. Nobody at her school practiced, and she didn't have any running shoes. When she started her first year at Menet Secondary School, she was the first person to express an interest in running. Since then she has learned the work ethic needed to run, and she has shown tremendous improvement. She continued to improve all the way through graduation.
