In February 2019, Eldoret became the first town outside Nairobi, to host the national cross country championships, an event that electrified North Rift - a region considered the 'mecca of athletics'.

The event, two years ago at the Eldoret Sports Club, was hailed as one of the meticulously planned and executed competitions in the history of Kenyan cross-country.
