Ebenyo leads elite field for Mumias cross country showdown
Daniel Ebenyo will headline a strong cast of elite athletes battling for top honors at the Mumias Cross Country meet on Saturday in Mumias, as runners fine-tune their form ahead of the track season. The Kenyan distance star is targeting victory against a competitive field drawn from the country’s top road and track talents.
Ebenyo said the race is a key step in his preparations. “Mumias always gives you a true test of fitness, and that’s exactly what I need now,” he told Standard Sports. Several rivals, including national cross country regulars, are also eyeing the title in what organizers expect to be a fast, tactical contest.
Coaches view the event as a crucial benchmark early in the year. “This race helps us gauge who is ready for the next level,” one team coach noted. Local officials added that the flat but demanding course is designed to reward both speed and endurance.
With pride and momentum at stake, Mumias is set to host one of the most competitive cross country races of the season.
