About Kip Keino Classic
Kip Keino Classic Tour continues to distinguish itself as a top-ranking one-day-meet athletics championship. ‘Kip Keino Classic’ is part of the Continental Tour Gold series by World Athletics. The action-packed event boasts top talents from Africa and other continents giving athletes a chance to compete at an international level while reaching fans all over the world.
The Absa Kip Keino Classic Continental Tour fifth edition is set on April 20, 2024, at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya. Athletes will compete at Gold level earning both prize money and world ranking points. The yearly tour was launched in 2020 and is taking shape to be a world-class event.
The Kip Keino Classic is a track and field meeting held at the Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya and named after Olympian Kipchoge Keino. The inaugural edition took place in 2020 as part of the inaugural World Athletics Continental Tour.
The venue is at 1,612 metres in elevation, slightly over 1 mile in altitude, thus all marks set here are considered at altitude which is an advantage to short, explosive events like sprinting and jumping due to less air resistance but a dis-advantage to long distance runners due to the availability of less oxygen.
