Crusaders in Africa

Last spring, Crusaders’ Markus Roessel and Uli Fluhme (ex-Crusader, now based in NYC) decided to travel to Iten in Kenya where many of the top Kenyan runners live and train. We were fascinated by the fact that a small village hosts a majority of the world’s fastest runners. At the same time, we started the website www.mzungo.org to raise the profile of Kenyan and other distance runners.
