An enchanting location in the Rift Valley of Kenya.<\/em>\u00a0On 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.<\/p>

Here, surrounded by forests and endless trails, lies the High Altitude Training Centre (HATC), the well-known training centre developed especially for runners. Founded by the Dutch\/Kenyan runner Lornah Kiplagat, four times World Champion and three times Olympian.<\/p>

The facilities include: rooms with a shower and toilet, an all-weather athletics track, a big gym, two saunas, a 25 meter swimming pool, a lounge, a restaurant and the possibility for sports massage and physical therapy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
