Elgeyo Marakwet County occupies the dramatic Elgeyo Escarpment and the Kerio Valley below it, stretching from the Cherangany Hills in the north to the Tugen Hills in the south. The county is known for world-class athletics training camps at Iten, one of the highest concentrations of Olympic champions per capita on earth.
Athletics tourism around Iten is a growing industry, with runners from over 40 countries training at altitude. Horticulture — particularly mangoes and citrus from the Kerio Valley — is a fast-growing commercial sector. The Arror and Kimwarer dams (under construction) will bring significant hydropower and irrigation.
