    The RUN'IX Athletic Center is located in the village of Iten in the highlands of the Rift Valley at an altitude of 2,400 metres and 450 kilometres from Nairobi. Located just a few minutes from the centre of Iten - it is ideally placed halfway between the red tracks for jogging and the athletics tracks for speed sessions.

The atmosphere is very family you can leave alone, you come back with lots of knowledge 🥰 Even if you are amateurs or beginners, like me, it is accessible to all. They can advise you if needed 😉 The food is good and varied. The rooms are pleasant and cleaned every day as well as your laundry, which is a real plus.

    (Translated by Google) Outstanding experience. Nothing to complain about, perfect from start to finish. Center with everything you need in terms of equipment, great team, balanced and super good food and a dream place to run with weather that you quickly regret when you return to Europe :). (Original) Expérience hors du commun. Rien à redire, parfait du début à la fin. Centre avec tout ce qu'il faut niveau équipement, équipe géniale, nourriture équilibrée et super bonne et endroit rêvé pour courir avec une météo qu'on regrette vite en rentrant en Europe :).

    (Translated by Google) Exceptional 2 week stay! The experience has not been easy every day, because it has only been a few months, adapting to the routes and the altitude has not been easy! A lot of benevolence within the group, which is motivating. You don't have to be an accomplished runner to join the camp! With a little determination and kindness anything is possible. The staff on site is very friendly and helpful. Romain is really versatile! Between the photos, the organization, the multiple information and his driving skills, nothing to fear you will be well supervised! Thank you 🌸🇰🇪 (Original) Séjour de 2 semaines exceptionnel! L’expérience n’a pas été facile tous les jours, car courant que depuis quelques mois, s’adapter aux parcours et à l’altitude n’a pas été simple! Beaucoup de bienveillance au sein du groupe, ce qui est motivant. Il n’est pas nécessaire d’être un coureur accompli pour intégrer le camp! Avec un peu de détermination et de bienveillance tout est possible. Le personnel sur place est très attachant et serviable. Romain est vraiment polyvalent! Entre les photos, l’organisation, les multiples renseignements et ses talents de conducteur, rien à craindre vous serez bien encadrés! Merci 🌸🇰🇪

    I had a very enjoyable and memorable two weeks at the center in Iten. Everything was great for the athletes to focus only on their training during the camp period. It was a completely different experience to train in the nature of Iten and with the champions. Whether you run for fun or be a professional, camping here will give everyone great benefit and experience. The meals in the center were also quite tasty and varied. Thanks a lot to everyone who provided me this beautiful environment during the camp and see you soon. 👋🏼

  • 5/5 Sven B. 11 months ago on Google
    My First altitude camp in Kenya. Not knowing what to expect from this experience, I started my journey solo from Belgium to the far Iten. As I arrived at the Runix Camp, Julian and the staff welcomed me from the first moment and gave me a feeling like it was home. They took care of me during three weeks with everything an athlete needs to prepare himself for a good track season. As an extra, I got to know some great people where I could train/live with. Learning from pro athletes but also from non pro athletes makes the experience even greater. If you want to stay in a center with a friends/family feeling, great food and service, the Runix center is the place to be! Thank you again to Julian and his whole team. When I get to chance for a second camp, Runix will be the first that I contact for a new stay. Greets Sven

    I don't quite know how to summarize my experience at the Run'ix Athletic Center, but "perfect" would be an easy choice of word. Travelling alone to a foreign country can be quite challenging. Upon my arrival, I was immediately overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the country (make time to explore, it's absolutely worth it!). Next, I had the warmest welcome ever at the Center. Every staff member is extremely friendly and super helpful. I immediately felt at home. I was part of a small, but awesome group of trainees for a 3 week period. I was the "slowest" runner of the group, but never felt left out or alone. Everyone was working hard, together. Everything was provided for; from food, to accommodation, to laundry, to massages and other services at the center. I truly had the time of my life and cannot wait to get back. Asante sante ❤

    (Translated by Google) A stay beyond my expectations! Iten was truly an exceptional experience on a sporting and human level. I came to prepare for my first half-marathon, an altitude course tempted me so I jumped at the chance. Everything went perfectly within the center, rooms cleaned every day, laundry several times a week, super good meals and a great overall atmosphere! I also thank Julian who was able to guide me in my training and give me valuable advice, it's really a plus! (Original) Un séjour au-delas de mes attentes ! Iten a vraiment été une expérience exceptionnelle sur le plan sportif et humain. Je suis venu dans l’optique de préparer mon premier semi-marathon, un stage en altitude me tentait alors j’ai sauté sur l’occasion. Tout s’est parfaitement déroulé au sein du centre, chambres nettoyées chaque jour, le linge plusieurs fois par semaine, des repas super bons et une ambiance globale géniale ! Je remercie également Julian qui a su m’aiguiller dans mon entraînement et me donner de précieux conseils, c’est vraiment un plus !

    (Translated by Google) If you want to come and live an incredible sporting and human experience, no doubt the RUNIx CENTER is the perfect place!🇰🇪 Everything is done so that athletes focus only on their sessions and recoveries. The rest, the center takes care of it! Food deliciously prepared by a superb team, laundry and cleaning are done by an impeccable cleaning team! As for the atmosphere, you don't have to come and see for yourself to realize the cohesion and the positive atmosphere that reigns (provided you don't lose at the African tarot…) See you next 😉 (Original) Si vous souhaitez venir vivre une expérience sportive et humaine incroyable, pas de doutes le RUNIx CENTER est l’endroit parfait !🇰🇪 Tout est fait en sorte pour que les sportifs se concentrent uniquement sur leurs séances et récupérations. Le reste, le centre s’en charge ! Nourriture délicieusement préparée par une superbe équipe, les lessives et ménage sont fait pas une équipe nettoyage impeccable ! Pour ce qui en est de l’ambiance, vous n’avez cas venir voir de vous même pour vous rendre compte de la cohésion et l’ambiance positive qui règnent (à condition de ne pas perdre au tarot Africain…) A la prochaine 😉

Everything is there to train in the best possible conditions: delicious meals, fitness room, recovery equipment, massages, organized trips for training, daily cleaning of rooms, clothes and even sneakers, magnificent landscape and above all conviviality.

    (Translated by Google) Great center to train in Iten! Warm welcome, top atmosphere, comfortable houses, pleasant and friendly staff! The activities are organized and supervised by Romain, which facilitates the progress of these. I highly recommend this center for training in Kenya and/or discovering Iten and its surroundings.

    (Translated by Google) The ideal place for an athletics/running course. Everything is there, the organization is top notch. Romain and Julian are super welcoming and will know how to put you in good conditions and give you good plans (safaris, waterfalls, excursions) I will especially remember the breathtaking landscapes, and it is the case to say it, but especially the superb encounters that I made at RUNIX. (Original) L'endroit idéal pour un stage d'athlétisme/course à pied. Tout y est, l'organisation est top . Romain et Julian sont super accueillants et sauront vous mettre dans de bonnes conditions et vous donner les bons plans ( safaris, cascades, excursions) Je retiendrai surtout les paysages à couper le souffle, et c'est le cas de le dire, mais surtout les superbes rencontres que j'ai faite chez RUNIX.
