Over 200 junior runners will battle it at Eliud Kipchoge Annex Stadium Kapsabet tomorrow as Atheltics Kenya (AK) steps up preparations ahead of the national trials for the world junior championships slated for July 1 - 2 at the Nyayo National Stadium.

The one-day event will have upstart runners drawn from camps and schools within Baringo, Uasin Gishu and Nandi counties. This follows a similar event that was held in Machakos two weeks ago.
