Athletes will no doubt be using the races to prepare for the World Athletics Gold Tour Sirikwa Classic Cross Country Championships to be held in Lobo Village in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County on February 3 and the World Cross Country Championships on March 30, in Belgrade, Serbia.

“I won’t be participating in any other event unless something comes up because I want to concentrate on my training with the sole aim of making the Kenya team,” he said.
