A group of Kenyan athletes has protested Athletics Kenya's latest move for the qualification of the 2025 World Athletics Championships.
A section of Kenyan athletes has raised concerns over Athletics Kenya's (AK) decision to hold trials for the men’s 10,000 metres and women’s 5,000 metres at the 2025 Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon.
The race, scheduled for July 5, will act as the qualifying event for the 2025 World Athletics Championships set for September in Tokyo.
The move mirrors AK’s approach last year when it used the same meet to select teams for the 10,000m races for the Paris Olympics.

Wolves Line Up Man City-Bound Rayan Ait-Nouri Replacement With Exciting Harambee Stars Prospect Valued At 1.2 Billion
Wolves are looking to replace Man City-headed Rayan Ait-Nouri with the Danish-born Kenyan flanker, whose move to Brighton last February failed to materialise.
But this year, the decision has sparked backlash among runners, who accuse the federation of poor planning and lack of transparency.
“We should have been told well in advance of the trials being moved, and perhaps the date included in the calendar of events. We can’t wake up one day and make decisions without even consulting us, our management, or coaches, it’s unacceptable,” said one athlete who requested anonymity as quoted by Nation Sports.
Athletes say AK failed to include the US trials in its calendar of events, which was officially unveiled last year. Many learned of the decision only after it was announced publicly, sparking confusion and frustration across training camps and online athlete forums.
Several athletes are questioning why only two events are being held overseas, despite earlier communication that the men’s 5,000m and women’s 10,000m would also be considered.

Austin Odhiambo: 3 Potential Destinations for Gor Mahia’s Midfield Maestro
Gor Mahia's midfield star Austin Odhiambo has previously attracted transfer interest and will likely spark again as the season culminates.
Limited Opportunity Draw Criticism
)
Among the concerns raised is by young and upcoming athletes who are particularly disheartened.
Many believe the decision shuts the door on their chance to compete against elite names like Beatrice Chebet and Agnes Ng’etich, and that the move favours established stars who may have already secured U.S. visas or sponsorship deals.
Barnaba Korir, AK Executive Committee member and spokesperson, defended the federation’s decision.
He said the Prefontaine Classic presents a better environment for fast times compared to Nairobi’s high altitude, which has historically limited qualifying performances.

Kenya vs Chad: Harambee Stars with No Margin for Error as Pressure Begins to Mount on Benni McCarthy
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy will have to get his tactics and selection spot on when his team plays minnows Chad in their second friendly match on Tuesday.
“It’s tough at high altitude, and if you note, four of the seven athletes that met the standards did so at last year’s Prefontaine Classic,” said Korir.
He acknowledged the logistical issues from last year, including visa delays that affected athletes like Daniel Ebenyo, but assured the community that these concerns had been addressed this time.
As national trials for other events have been rescheduled to August 1–2 at Nairobi’s Ulinzi Sports Complex, pressure continues to mount on AK to rethink its strategy for team selection in the road to Tokyo.
