More than 700 athletes are expected to battle it out as athletics focus shift to Gusii Golf club tomorrow.
Nyanza South Athletics Kenya chairman, Peter Angwenyi, said top runners have confirmed participation as the KCB/Athletics Kenya cross-country series reach a crucial stage.
The fifth one in a seven-race circuit, the meet is expected to attract budding stars, who have been on focus with elite class trying to reclaim their positions in the year-ender.
"Everything is ready. We are waiting for the athletes from Nyahururu, South Nyanza, South Rift, Mt Elgon and part of North Rift region as the runners continue gauging their form before the Christmas break," said Angwenyi, also the AK Publication Relation Officer.
As has been witnessed in the last four series, new talent continue calling the shots as cross-country veterans prefer the back stage.
But all is not lost, as the likes of Joseph Ebuya, Hosea Macharinyang, Mercy Cherono and Linus Chumba have shown interest in being in the national team next year.
Ebuya has already featured in three races (not KCB/AK) in Ndalat Gaa, Moi University and Wareng Tuskys in Eldoret, topping in Ndalat and finishing second in Tuskys to confirm his intention. The event will be held at the Kisii Gold Club.
