The short answer

The short answer

A two-week all-inclusive running camp in Iten costs about £1,600 for the camp itself (one week about £1,050), based on Kenya Experience's base package as quoted to us in November 2026. With flights, the eTA, insurance and extras, most runners from the UK or Europe spend £2,300 to £3,200 in total. From the US, flights push it higher.

What is included in the camp price

How to pay and book

Kenya Experience asks for a 20% deposit to hold your place, with the balance due four weeks before the camp. The deposit is non-refundable but can be moved to another camp within 12 months, and payment plans are possible on request. Prices are in GBP, EUR or USD.

How to keep the cost down

Is it worth the money?

Compare it with a normal holiday plus a training block you never quite fit in at home. Two weeks of coached sessions, Kenyan pacers, food and rest arranged, and the chance to run where champions run. Most runners say it changed how they train, not just how fit they were for a month. Dates and the full picture are in running camps in Kenya, and what to bring is in the packing list.
