Rift Valley of Kenya
An enchanting location in the Rift Valley of Kenya. On the edge of the Rift Valley, at the height of 2400 meters, lies the Kenyan village Iten. Since the year 2000 Iten has grown into a true paradise for runners. Because here, surrounded by forests and endless trails, lies the location of the High Altitude Training Centre (HATC), the well known trainings centre developed especially for runners. Founded by the Dutch/Kenyan runner Lornah Kiplagat, four times World Champion and three times Olympian.
The training centre is equipped with every kind of facility you can expect as a recreational runner and also as a top athlete. You can be sure of a lot of privacy in the middle of the mountains surrounded by forests and more beautiful nature.
The facilities: rooms with a shower and a toilet, an all weather athletics track, a big gym, two sauna’s, a 25 meter swimming pool, a lounge, a restaurant and the additional possibility for sports massage and physical therapy.
Reviews
Met een gezellige groep vrienden en hardloopmaatjes was ik op avontuur naar Kenia.
Dankzij de bemiddeling en alle en tips tops van onze reiscoördinator Alewijn zijn we in contact gebracht met onze professionele reisbegeleider Hassan. Naast dat hij een super gezellig innemend mens is met veel mensenkennis, heeft hij ons veel kunnen vertellen over geschiedenis, politiek, dieren, natuur en do’s en dont’s van Kenia.
Het HATC van Lornah was ook een topervaring. Alewijn had een mooi programma voor ons bedacht; een mix van lekker mee trainen in het ritme van de Kenianen .op ons eigen niveau en uitstapjes in de omgeving van Iten. Hij regelde achter de schermen van alles voor ons en paste met het grootste gemak alles weer aan als de waan van de dag en of de wensen van de groepsleden hier om vroegen. Wij werden lekker ontzorgd door Alewijn en konden optimaal genieten van onze week Harloop-experience in HOME OF CHAMPIONS, Iten; een vakantie om nooit te vergeten!
