In the early years of the 20th century, travel writers were awed by the physical presence and athletic prowess of the East African Maasai. Today, the record-breaking and championship-winning performances of Kenyan athletes are regularly part of the media sports circus. This book explores, for the first time in any depth, the "phenomenon" of Kenyan running.
This book, the first to examine the evolution of a single sport in an African country, asks how significant Kenya is in the sports world, and traces the development of Kenyan running from its pre-colonial roots to today's international sport.
