On his Facebook page on Tuesday, December 3, the entrepreneur said they talked on ways they can promote Kenya through sports with the 2016 Olympic champion.
“Today I was honored to host the iconic Eliud Kipchoge at my home. We talked about how he can promote Kenya through sports and mentor other young athletes. We both believe we have untapped talents in sports that if well nurtured can create employment,” Kirubi posted.
Kipchoge noted the businessman was a great believer of his theme ‘No Human is Limited’ and as such they shared some ideas on sports and business.
“Today I visited industrialist and entrepreneur Chris Kirubi. I had a great time with him and was able to share some ideas on sport and business. Together we read from the same script as he is a strong believer of ‘No Human Is Limited.’ I wish him a happy and healthy 2020,” the athlete tweeted.
In the morning of Tuesday, December 3, the world champion trained with First Lady Margaret Kenyatta ahead of the 2020 Beyond Zero Half Marathon set for Sunday, March 8, 2020.
The first lady initiated the yearly marathon in 2014 to help improve maternal and child health in Kenya, and to reduce new HIV infections among children through services offered by mobile clinics.
