Arwos is a settlement in Kenya's Nandy County, in the former Rift Valley Province.[2] [3] It is roughly 152 miles NW of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
The people of the Rift Valley are a meshwork of different tribes; the Kalenjin and the Maasai are the two best-known. Most of Kenya's top runners come from the Kalenjin community. The Maasai people have the most recognizable cultural identity, both nationally and internationally; they serve as Kenya's international cultural symbol.
