Cash galore at Shoe4Africa race

By JONATHAN KOMEN

There will be prizes for top two finishers – $500 (Sh40,000) for the first athlete who has not competed outside Kenya and $500 also for the first international athlete.

The second finisher gets $300 (Sh24,000) with the awards trickling down to the 12th place ($100 or Sh8,000).

All entrants will get T-shirts, and running shoes will be raffled after the run is complete. There is no entry fee charged for participation.

World 10,000m Linet Masai, world 21km all-time best Lorna Kiplagat, and Hilda Kibet, both Dutchwomen but formerly Kenyans, will support the competition as they also chase the $500 top prize.
