Where Champions Rest.

Experience high-altitude recovery and quiet beauty at the Source of Champions.

Our Beginning, How it Started

This all started with a feeling. That crisp breath you take when you first arrive in Kapsabet. The kind that tells your body you’re somewhere different. Higher. Lighter. Ready.

We built 2Running Lodge for that moment. For the runners chasing big goals, the travellers drawn to quiet beauty, and the everyday explorers looking to reconnect with themselves and the trail.

Tucked into the high-altitude hills of Kapsabet, it’s more than a place to stay. It’s where training settles and recovery begins.

Here, cool mornings pull you out the door, and long sunsets draw you into deep rest. It’s where recovery is as sacred as the run. And we’ve blended simple comforts, thoughtful design, and the natural rhythm of the highlands into something that feels like home, only lighter.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just a breath of fresh air, we’re here to help you Run, Relax, and Enjoy.

Built by athletes, for athletes.

Meet the Founders

It was here in Kapsabet, the Source of Champions, that Alkesh and Claudio crossed paths three years ago. Strangers then, they shared a vision: to create a place where runners could train, recover, and feel at home.

Claudio, a seasoned athletics coach originally from Italy, has been based in Kenya for nearly two decades, guiding award-winning endurance athletes across the country’s high-altitude training grounds.

Alkesh, a Kenyan entrepreneur, passionate runner, and adventurer, brings creativity, warmth, and a love for the outdoors.

Together, they imagined a place that would support athletes at every level and not just as a place to stay, but as a space to Run, Relax, and Enjoy. That idea became 2 Running Lodge.

Nestled in the high-altitude highlands of Kapsabet, 2Running Lodge offers world-class trails, crisp air, and the spirit of champions. For decades, Kapsabet has produced some of the world’s greatest runners, and now you have access to the same terrain and inspiration.
