Fila Running Presents
Second Annual Discovery Kenya Night
at Pine Manor College
July 27, 1999
Chestnut Hill, Mass.--
They are masters of their sport. Week after week,
race after race, road after road, Kenyan athletes are the leaders
of the running world. On Tuesday, August 10th, Fila Running
presents some of these same elite Kenyan distance runners at a special
Discovery Kenya Night. High school runners, coaches, and their parents
are invited to participate in this free running clinic. Pine Manor
College in Chestnut Hill and the Boston Running Club will host the
event collaboratively.
The site of the 1999 Fila Boston Training Camp for
the second year in a row, Pine Manor College is a four-year liberal
arts college preparing women for lives of inclusive leadership and
social responsibility in their workplaces, families and communities.
All participants will meet at the Pine Manor College
Gymnasium at 6 PM. Following is a schedule of the evening's events:
- 6 PM: Group will assemble at the Pine Manor Gymnasium.
- 6:30 -- 7:50 PM: High school athletes will participate in a
training session with the Kenyan athletes as well as members
of the Boston Running Club.
- 8 -- 8:30 PM: All will gather for dinner.
- 8:35 -- 9:30 PM: Participants will further interact with the
Kenyan athletes at a question/answer session.
With the Falmouth Road Race set to take place on Sunday,
August 15th, these members of the Fila team will be preparing for
one of the world's premier road races. John Korir (2nd last year
at Falmouth) looks to go head to head with Khalid Khannouchi (1998
Men's Champion), while Margaret Okayo (11th in 1998) prepares to
go stride for stride with Catherine Ndereba (1998 Women's Champion).
Discovery Kenya Night is a perfect opportunity for New England's
high school cross country and track athletes to learn from these
athletes as they get ready to make Fila's presence known in Falmouth.
