Coach Richard Kimani
Coach Richard was born and raised in Kijaido, Kenya where his love of running was born. Running was so much a part of his life that he went on to become the Head Coach of boys and girls cross-country at Oloolsiser High School in Nong Hills, Kenya. Even while coaching, he continued to train and he soon began his professional running career.
His running career afforded him opportunities to train with such notable athletes as Wilson Kipsang (winner of the London, NYC, Berlin, and Tokyo Marathons - to name a few) and Cheruiyot Timothy (a 3:49 miler and 1500m silver medalist at the 2017 World Championships.) Along the way, Coach Richard has produced amazing performances of his own.
