Still Racing Strong, Olympic Medalist Edwin Soi Leads by Example at KATA — Growing Potatoes, Training Hard, and Competing for the Half-Million Shilling Farmer Bonus

Edwin Soi is a 5000m Olympic medalist and still running well photo of him running 27:30 just a few months back at altitude).  He is also one of the KATA Running Camp operators and has three acres of KATA potatoes.  He posted this after we announced our new contest for our KATA farmers.  

 

“This is the kind of motivation,” says Edwin that pushes us past our limits. We promise to take this challenge to the top notch in both arenas.

On the farm, we focused on achieving a record potato yield per acre to be a winner in both Contest #1 and Contest #2. On the running field, that spirit translates directly into training harder and competing fiercer.

We will not just grow strong; we will demonstrate absolute excellence. Thank you Bob for fueling our drive to be champions. #GoKATA

 

Here are the details of our new contest:
