On December 11, 2019, US Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter paid a visit to the Global Sports Communication training camp in Kaptagat, Elgeyo-Marakwet County, where renowned runners like Olympics marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge and world half marathon record holder Geoffrey Kamworor train.
McCarter's visit aimed to boost integrity in sports and to learn from the success of Kenyan athletes. He praised Kipchoge's good characteristics, saying they are essential for a good leader in Kenya.
"Kipchoge is a good example to many and that is what is expected from a leader. Many youths are looking up to him and this shows one can achieve his/her dreams when you work hard," McCarter said.
