16 days spent at the Center with my twin brother. We discovered a welcoming and caring environment. The aim was to combine sport with discovering the country. The center offers everything you need for training and excursions on the days off. We came with a view to making progress on the road but also to trail-running. The center is very close to great trails for training! With great loops! Just ask the center's guide 😉

Of course I'm giving 5 stars! I spent 3 exceptional weeks at this center, meeting some very nice people (athletes and staff alike). The food was very good. The excursions are a real plus in this sporting adventure.For the sessions, it's very easy to get to the different sites, Julian and his team answer all our questions and help us to prepare our outings.It's super nice to think only about running and to be able to share that with all the athletes at the center, whatever their goals and levels.I'll be coming back to this center with great pleasure!!!

If you love running and want to live an unforgettable experience! Then come to the Run'Ix Center for a sporting and human adventure we won't soon forget. As 2 couples, we had obviously come to walk the various ochre paths of Iten, but what's great about this structure is that you can combine your personal sporting objectives with the cultural discovery of Kenya through safaris, hikes, school visits... thanks to the excellent organization of Julian and all his colleagues, who do their utmost every day to ensure everyone's well-being. We were the "darlings", as the youngsters used to say, but what a satisfaction it was to spend 10 days immersed in beautiful people from different backgrounds, top-level athletes and amateurs alike, sharing so many wonderful moments. I would therefore recommend this French-speaking structure to everyone, as a human and sporting adventure that will undoubtedly leave its mark on you for life.

I had an amazing 3 weeks at the Run'ix Center! Everything is in place for an extraordinary experience. Julian and his team are very attentive, making life at the center very pleasant. The training conditions are of course ideal with good weather and varied playing fields. Finally, the Run'Ix allows people with totally opposite life trajectories to cross paths for a stay and share their common passion together, all this in a (very) good mood!

21 days spent in the "home of champions", an unforgettable experience thanks in particular to the help of the entire RUN'IX staff, in terms of kindness, advice and a peaceful life! Julian listens to his public, the cooks prepare excellent dishes for us, and they clean up after us. There's nothing else to think about except training. I recommend RUN'IX for your altitude training courses! Thanks again 😉

Dear RunIX team,I recently had the privilege of attending one of your training camps in Kenya for 9 days, and I must say it was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of the organization.First and foremost, the actual experience of the training camp was unprecedented.The opportunity to train in such a beautiful and diverse environment added an extra dimension to the experience, pushing me to new limits and inspiring me to push harder than ever.Beyond the training itself, the organization of the camp was first-rate.Every detail was carefully planned and executed, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. From transport to accommodation, every aspect was taken care of, allowing me to focus on my training and the enjoyment of the experience.One of the highlights for me was the feeling of being immersed in Kenyan culture.From interacting with the locals to exploring breathtaking landscapes. The sense of connection and belonging was incredible.Finally, the accommodation was perfect.The rooms were clean and comfortable.The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met with speed and care.I look forward to returning in the future.

I had a truly unique experience in a great setting, with a wonderful atmosphere, thanks first and foremost to the professionalism and availability of Julian and his team. While running was the central objective for almost everyone, we also visited, went on safari, climbed to over 4,000m and made ourselves a little useful by visiting a school sponsored by the Centre. The organization is perfect. I highly recommend this adventure!

I would 1000% recommend staying at this center, which not only offers optimal training and recovery, but also allows you to immerse yourself in the Kenyan way of life! From amateur to elite, we were all one group. At the Run'ix Athletic Center, everyone follows their own training program. Not everyone has one. We were a lot of road runners, especially half-marathoners and marathoners, but we also rubbed shoulders with a number of runners and half-distance runners. Anything is possible in this center, and we all had a place. More than that, we belonged. We were where we were supposed to be. DON'T HESITATE FOR A SECOND AND LIVE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!

I spent 18 days at the center and it was really a great experience, both human and sporting, and whether you run a 1h04 at the half or a 2h, everyone can benefit from this wonderful experience. The welcome was really great and I met some lovely people, so for all running lovers I recommend trying the Kenyan adventure. I'm sure I'll be back to train with you, and to try runix is to adopt it😀😀

I had an incredible stay at the Run'Ix Athletic Center! It's a great place for athletes (amateurs and professionals) to get together for training and other activities... The camp team is also superb. For those who want to, it's also possible to join Kenyan groups (with respect) for jogging and fartleks to get the full experience... In short, a long stay, a successful stay!

A magnificent place where I had the opportunity to train alongside the best, while still being an amateur, enjoying an extraordinary human adventure! Kenya (land of perfect weather!!), although living at a different pace, is a magnificent country with a lot to teach us...At the center, a team that is always smiling and attentive guarantees optimal living comfort so that we can make the most of our vacations (and training.) Safari, matatu, ping-pong, encounters, landscapes, training, ugali, muzungu pace...All these enriching experiences will remain engraved in my mind! Thank you and probably see you soon!

Jambo Run'ix! 2 great weeks at Run'iX.everything is done to enable you to train in the best possible conditions, like a pro, with nothing to think about but running.the French-Kenyan Run'iX team is there to help us discover training in Kenya in the best possible way.coming alone I really enjoyed meeting new people, each with an interesting/inspiring life and running story. champions, pros and amateurs rub shoulders in a good atmosphere.Champions, pros and amateurs rub shoulders in a good atmosphere.overall, the level of people who come to Run'ix is very high, but everyone has their place and the group adapts more or less.Beware of mosquitoes and the water for the shower, which is not unlimited, and can sometimes be a bit tight if you want to shampoo your big head of hair (not my case).Superb experience, sad to go back, eager to leave.Thanks to the whole Run'ix team 🖤❤️💚

I'd wanted to discover Kenya for so many years, and I got a slap in the face like never before. At an altitude of 2400m, my heart rate went up a few notches, but the group, Julian and his staff, and the locals quickly calmed it down thanks to their infinite kindness, their beautiful values, their joie de vivre and their humanity. I came away from Iten with hundreds of images in my head, as well as inspiring, stimulating and endearing fratés. I got a taste for the split sessions, the big tables and the meticulous training plans. Thanks to the whole team for bending over backwards to make this experience unforgettable. Asante sana!

A great experience at the Run'ix center. Not being much of a runner, I was a bit apprehensive about my stay, but it was nothing but happiness, great encounters inside and outside the center, magnificent landscapes and a truly adorable Kenyan population. My 12 days went by far too quickly and I'm already looking forward to going back.

Words will fail to describe this experience, but I can already say magnificent and incredible! Everything is perfectly organized for a good time and running (masseurs, gym, organization of group transportation, group running...). Julian accompanies you and leaves nothing to chance. I came alone, and I'm leaving with new friends who I'll be following in their future races, hoping to bump into again! You get to rub shoulders with international elite and amateur runners, all in a great, easy-going atmosphere. It's an experience you should have at least once in your racing life. And quite honestly, I'll be back! 😊

An experience not to be missedFrom the very beginning of the organization of our trip to our return to France, Julian is there to support, inform and welcome us.During our stay at the center, he and his team are there to take care of us, whether it's for stewardship, cooking, cleaning, recovery or advice.At the center, we're among experienced athletes and amateurs alike, living in a community, training together and discussing our different sporting experiences over meals together.

A stay beyond my expectations! Iten was really an exceptional experience on a sporting and human level. I came to prepare my first half-marathon, a training course in altitude tempted me so I jumped on the opportunity. Everything went perfectly at the center, rooms cleaned every day, laundry several times a week, great meals and an overall great atmosphere! I would also like to thank Julian who was able to guide me in my training and give me valuable advice, which is really a plus!

Exceptional 2 weeks stay! The experience was not easy every day, as we have only been running for a few months, adapting to the routes and the altitude was not easy! There was a lot of goodwill in the group, which was motivating. It is not necessary to be an accomplished runner to join the camp! With a little determination and goodwill anything is possible. The staff on site is very friendly and helpful. Romain is really versatile! Between the photos, the organization, the multiple information and his driving skills, nothing to worry about you will be well taken care of!Thank you 🌸🇰🇪

The ideal place for an athletics/running course. Everything is there, the organization is top. Romain and Julian are very welcoming and will know how to put you in good conditions and give you the right plans (safaris, waterfalls, excursions). I will especially remember the breathtaking landscapes, and it's the case to say it, but above all the great encounters that I made at RUNIX.

The center meets the needs of all sportsmen: varied quality food, quiet individual rooms, friendly spaces, weight room and linked equipment, outdoor relaxation area. The managers are attentive to your needs and guide you towards the activities you are looking for. An experience where the mix between amateur and professional sportsmen is particularly pleasant. All this in the Mecca of long distance athletics.
