Shamil Tanna’s new book and project, Runners of ITEN. Sham has been working on this for the past year alongside the amazing Alice Isaac, Paul Rider and Dan Parker. ⁠

Words from Shamil below on the project-

‘I travelled to Iten, Kenya on the edge of the Great Rift Valley in February 2022, having been delayed a couple of years by the pandemic. My father was born in a nearby town and I’d wanted to do this project for years.’

‘For generations, Kenya’s Kalenjin tribe have passed down a passion for running, turning Iten into a Mecca for elite long distance runners from around the world. The project follows a group of young runners starting out on their journey to becoming a champion.’
