Kaptagat half marathon organizers have predicted a large turn-out when the race gets underway this Sunday in kaptagat, Uasin Gishu county.

Run For a Purpose as the race is called will see athletes surpass last year’s event where 250 athletes competed in vatious categories.

Race director Patrick Birgen said the number, according to the registration will definitely go up depending on the marketing they have done this year.

“We are expecting over a thousand runners in all categories. During our inauguration, we had a big number and we expect the same on Sunday,” said Birgen as he puts on final touches on the organization.
