Iten town in Elgeiyo - Marakwet County is a very busy town. If it is not foreign athletes making use of the high altitude conditions as they prepare for different championships, it is the local athletes who line up the local roads in the area as they sharpen their skills. The latest visitors to the region are the world leading para-gliders led by World Champion Macaus Shouldsman from Germany. The gliders have been attracted by the spectacular Kerio Valey view and heavy winds that aid their gliding.
