Wesley Ngetich, Marathon winner and success story in US Marathons killed by an arrow to the chest and he was trying to get out of Kenya to run in Marathons in the US but could not get a plane out. This is very tragic.

Kenyans have told me before that often the problems there are due to tribal violence and disagreements and this appears to be the case here. Such stories indicate it must be pretty bad over there presently.

Rest in Peace Wesley Ngetich.

Some marathons started separating financial awards between international runners and American runners. This is fair but now we also see the kind of world these others come from as well.
