World Mountain champion Lucy Wambui Murigi and Geoffrey Gikuni Ndungu may be the highlight for the Athletics Kenya Mountain Running championships that will be held in Naivasha, Nakuru County.
Murigi, who edged out Australia’s Andrea Mayr to win the fifth and final WMRA World Cup race in Ljubljana, Slovenia, will be the key highlight when the event sets off on November 22, 2020. The one day event will start at Cornerstone Preparatory Academy on the Naivasha-Mai Mahiu Road and end at Fly-Over at the foot of Mount Longonot.
This will be the second mountain running championships in the country after the “Challenging the Heights” meet that was held last year in Meru County. There will be a repeat of the Meru event on February 20.
Ndungu was the bronze medalist at the final WMRA World Cup where Murigi won the title in 2018.
