About James

My Journey

Born in the heart of Kenya’s Rift Valley, I grew up running through the hills that produced some of the world’s greatest marathoners. My passion for long-distance running began at a young age, inspired by legends like Eliud Kipchoge. Specializing in marathons, I’ve dedicated my life to pushing the limits of endurance, discipline, and legacy. From local races to international competitions like the Kigali Peace Marathon, I strive to represent Kenya with pride and inspire the next generation.

Endurance. Discipline. Legacy.
