Athletics Kenya president, retired general Jackson Tuwei has called upon Kenyan elite runners to participate more in local races before setting foot abroad.

Speaking in Nairobi on Tuesday morning during the launch of the Ndakaini half marathon at the federation’s headquarters, Tuwei was adamant that Kenya would have taken first position at the just concluded 2017 World Athletics Championships in London, Great Britain.
