Mountain running is one of the fastest growing sports disciplines in Kenya. And one of the stars putting Kenya on the world map in this field is Joyce Muthoni Njeru. In mountain running, athletes mainly compete in off-road mountainous terrain, but if there is significant elevation on the route, surfaced roads may be used. It is a mixture of running, jogging and walking, depending on how steep the trail is. The sport is recognised by World Athletics and governed by the World Mountain Running Association.
