Know the full list of the previous winners of the Kip Keino Classic along with all the records held and results
All marks set at the Kip Keino Classic are regarded at altitude, which is an advantage for short, explosive sports like sprinting and jumping due to less air resistance, but a disadvantage for long distance runners due to the availability of less oxygen. We take a look at the record setters at this difficult venue.
The Kip Keino Classic is a track and field event named after Kenyan Olympian Kipchoge Keino and held at the Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya. As part of the inaugural World Athletics Continental Tour, the first edition took place in 2020.
