    The fact that they commit every run to the Lord as a team is the greatest show of humility as world class runners:)

    Kapchorwa in Sebei (Kalenjin) language means a friend's place...chorwa or chorwet means a friend. Glory to God forever.

    Stephen Kiprotich was so right, half of my family did not know where kapchorwa was before he won, I even had to get an atlas to show them.

    I had not cried for a very long time until I watched this documentary. I guess it is because I ve witnessed like them those challenges. I ran bare footed in Chemwania when I was I still young. I am no athlete now but I want to be positive like them in where I am so that I can do some thing for my people one day. Thank u kiprotich and cheptegei

    I was in Kween District/Kapchorwa last year and witnessed the athletes first hand. I was very impressed with the training and dedication of the athletes doing their routines every day. One stopped and talked to us one afternoon after doing hill repeats and it was very cool being able to talk to him. I wish the Uganda running teams the best!
