Commonwealth Games 3,000m steeplechase champion Abraham Kibiwot will be chasing a third title at the fifth edition of the Kip Keino Classic at the Nyayo Stadium on Saturday.
Kibiwot, who won the 2020 and 2021 editions, will use the event as part of his training ahead of the Diamond League opening leg in Doha, Qatar, on May 10.
“I want to reclaim my title. I won back-to-back in 2020 and 2021 before losing in 2022 and 2023. I am well prepared for the race,” said Kibiwot, the world 3,000m steeplechase bronze medallist.
He revealed a packed-up schedule to culminate with the Olympic Games in Paris, France.
“I am training for Saturday's event under coach Japhter Keter as I seek to win a third title,” said the 2016 Africa bronze medallist.
