Training Destination

Ngong Hills, Kenya

⛰ Altitude 2,460 m

The Ngong Hills are a ridgeline of seven peaks just south-west of Nairobi, topping out around 2,460 metres. For athletes flying into Nairobi who want to start training immediately without a long onward transfer, the Ngong area offers genuine altitude, varied terrain (trail and tarmac), and proximity to the capital’s infrastructure.

While not as concentrated a coaching ecosystem as Iten or Kaptagat, Ngong is a great option for shorter trips, recovery weeks, or athletes combining training with Nairobi-based business or family.

Why train here

  • Just outside Nairobi — easy international access
  • Classic ridgeline route along the seven Ngong peaks
  • Elevation 2,200–2,460m with significant climbing
  • Mix of trail and tarmac options
