Kenyan junior runners are keen to win elusive gold medals in men’s and women’s under-20 races at the 43rd IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus, Denmark, on Saturday.

In the past 18 editions of the global showpiece, the under-20 titles have been shared between Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda and the same trend is likely to continue.
