Following high turn out in the past two relays series, Athletics Kenya opted to invite athletes to the third leg scheduled for Nyayo Stadium on Saturday.

The series acts as build up competitions ahead of the trials at Lornah Kiplagat tartan track in Iten on April 13, where a team will be picked to the World Relay Championships set for Yokohama, Japan, on May 11-12.
