Attention has shifted to the tartan track at Nyayo National Stadium as Kenya races against time to have it ready for the Kip Keino Classic by the end of May.
Kenya is racing against time to have stadiums ready not just for the 2024 Africa Nations Championships (CHAN 2024) but also for athletics events.
Nyayo and Kasarani Stadiums have been closed for renovations since last year with a focus on being ready for CHAN 2024 that will be staged in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in August.
However, the two facilities also have the only World Athletics-approved tracks, meaning key athletics events can only be held there.

Harambee Stars Forward Faces Uncertain Future as Iranian Club Wants Him Out Soon
The Kenyan striker looks to have just over two weeks left before he starts looking for a new club as his current team is reportedly not interested in retaining his services.
Now, with the 2025 Kip Keino Classic set to be staged on May 31, Nyayo Stadium has been earmarked to host the World Athletics Continental Tour once again and work is underway on the tartan track which will get a complete makeover.
The old tartan track has been removed with the debris cleared before a grader was brought in to level the surface in preparation for the installation of a brand-new track.
The track is projected to be in place before the Kip Keino Classic is staged and there is confidence that everything will move with speed ahead of the continental event.
