Eldoret City Marathon, the highest paying 42km race in Africa, has been recognised by the Abott World Marathon Major (WMM) series.
Moses Tanui, the two-time Boston Marathon winner and race director, said the race has been included in the acclaimed WMM series calendar.
“This is a milestone in development of athletics in the country. It is the only marathon in Kenya that has been recognised. What we are trying to do is to make sure we follow the rules and regulations for WMM series for them to give us the label.
