Kenya made a commanding statement at the 2025 African Cross Country Championships in Alexandria, Egypt, on February 16, 2025—sweeping all four team titles (Senior Men/Women, U-20 Men/Women) and 3 individual golds. Beatrice Chebet retained her senior women’s crown (6.5km in 20:11), while newcomer Dominic Kiptarus (19) stunned veterans in the men’s 10km (28:04). Notably, the U-20 women—led by 17-year-old Esther Muthoni—won by a record 42-point margin. Coach John Anzrah credited the new *County Talent Pipeline*, which scouts schools in Rift Valley and Nyanza. World Athletics noted Kenya’s deepest bench strength in a decade. The federation announced plans to host the 2027 edition in Eldoret.
