Dr. Kigen shares his powerful story of growing up in Kenya, his journey into medicine, and how he’s using running to bring people together and give back to his community.We talk about what makes the Run With Kenyans race so special, the impact of running culture in Kenya, and how he’s built something meaningful right here in the U.S. His kindness, humility, and insight will absolutely stay with you. Don’t miss this beautiful conversation with a truly accomplished runner and leader.
