Kenya’s First National Sports Heritage Trail Launched in Rift Valley

The Kenya Sports Heritage Trail—a 12-site pilgrimage through the nation’s athletic soul—was inaugurated on November 25, 2025, starting at Kip Keino’s birthplace in Kaptagat and ending at the Wangari Maathai Stadium in Nyeri. Stops include Seraphino Antao’s Mombasa home, the original Nyayo Stadium blocks, and Lucy Wangari’s training track in Machakos. Each site features QR-linked oral histories, tactile exhibits, and youth storytelling circles. History isn’t behind us—it’s beneath our feet, said trail curator Dr. Mwanga. Safaricom sponsors free audio guides in 7 languages. Schools receive subsidized bus tours; 50,000 students are booked for Term 1 2026. UNESCO endorsed it for *Sustainable Cultural Tourism*.
