Athletics Kenya (AK) Coast branch Sunday named 42 athletes to represent the region at the National Cross Country Championships slated for Saturday at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi.
AK Coast branch secretary Felix Ngala said the team will not have residential training because they failed to secure a sponsor to support the camp.
“Selected athletes will train on their own since we have no funds. The team will leave for Nairobi by road on Thursday,” said Ngala.
The first six finishers from each category during the weekend's Coast Region Cross Country Championships were selected to the team with athletes from Taita Taveta County being the majority.
AK intend to pick Team Kenya on Saturday for the Africa Cross Country Championships planned for April 8 in Lome, Togo.
