On Friday, title sponsors Absa Bank presented a Sh60m million investment for the national athletics season this year. Of this commitment, Sh50 million will be utilised as title sponsors of the 2023 edition of the Kip Keino Classic Tour, setting the stage for the final edition of the global athletic showpiece. The remaining Sh10 million will be used as leverage amounts to support subsequent events in the Kenya athletics calendar, including the Under 18 and Under 20 African Championships trials and the National World Athletics Bronze Cross Country and Sirikwa World Athletics Gold Cross Country which happened in February. As a truly African brand, we are honoured to be part of the team shaping the success of the Absa Kip Keino Classic Tour for the third consecutive year as the official title sponsors,” said Mr Mohamed. We urge Kenyans to turn out in large numbers to help us set the stage for our plans to upgrade Kip Keino Classic to the Diamond League.
