Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, is an eyesore after renovation of the facility stalled in 2017.
Athletics Kenya had asked the government to complete the stadium in honour of the late 2015 World 400m hurdles champion Nicholas Bett who died in a road accident in 2018.
According to the 2020 Athletics Kenya calendar, Olympic Games trials should have been held at the stadium to select a team that would have represented Kenya at the Summer Games.
The first AK track and field build-up competition that was expected to be held on February 22-23 at Kipchoge Keino Stadium was shifted to University of Eldoret.
Owing to the state of Kipchoge Stadium, athletes were forced train at already overcrowded University of Eldoret murram track and Moi University-Annex Campus before the government banned gatherings.
