Boston Marathon champion John Korir has shown his generous side by pledging to donate part of Ksh19.5 million winner’s prize to a little-known school in Trans Nzoia County.
Boston Marathon champion John Korir banked over Ksh19 million following his victory on Monday, having destroyed the field to claim a dominant win in the US city.
Korir was running on his own past the 30km mark with none of his rivals able to match his speed and went on to win the race in 2:04:45, the third fastest time ever recorded in Boston.
The 28-year-old completed a family double at Boston as he joined his brother Wesley Korir as the first-ever siblings to have won the race, the latter claiming it in 2012.

From his win, Korir will walk away with the winner’s prize of $150,000 (Ksh19.5 million) and he will not be celebrating alone as he promised to donate part of it to a Kenyan school.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Begins 2025 With Win as Shericka Jackson, Sha’Carri Richardson Await Battles Ahead
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce opens her 2025 season with a confident win, signaling readiness for upcoming showdowns with sprint rivals.
During his post-race interview, as reported by Fox Sports, Korir revealed that part of his earnings will go to the Transcend Talent Academy, which is based in Trans Nzoia County.
The school is a brainchild of his brother Wesley, who founded it through his Transcend Foundation in 2009, and it offers full scholarships to talented children from secondary level.
Students are enrolled following trials that determine how good they are in athletics and if they are found to be talented and needy, they get admission to the school, which caters for their full expenses from Form One to Form Four.
There is also a transition from high school to university with Wesley using his connections abroad to link some of them to American universities where they secure scholarships through athletics.

'I Messed Up' - Usain Bolt Reveals 2012 Olympic Tactical Blunder That Cost Him New 100m World Record
Usain Bolt has revealed the strategic mistake that cost him another world record at the 2012 Olympic games in the 100 meter event.
As of now, Transcend Talent Academy, whose first Form Four class sat its Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams in 2024, has 160 students with 22 having earned scholarships to American universities.
The school acts as a hub for talented runners, who get training in the sport as well as education, to prepare them for a career in athletics and whatever course they choose to study.
Wesley had been funding the school from his own resources and his foundation’s partners but his brother has been chipping in since he started earning big from marathon running with his Boston victory following on from his triumph in Chicago last October.
