The opening leg of the 2026 Athletics Kenya (AK) Track and Field circuit, originally scheduled as a two-day event in Mumias this Friday and Saturday, has been adjusted to a one-day competition on Saturday.
In a statement, Athletics Kenya announced that the change was necessitated by unavoidable circumstances.
“Due to unavoidable circumstances, the 1st AK Track and Field Weekend Meet that was set to be held at the Mumias Sports Complex on November 7 and 8, 2025, will now take place on November 8 only, at the same venue,” the federation said.
AK further expressed regret for any disruption caused by the schedule change, adding:
“We apologise for any inconvenience this adjustment may have caused and wish all athletes the best as they prepare for the event.”
After the Mumias opener, the circuit will move to Thika Stadium on January 16–17, 2026, then to Kapsabet Stadium on March 14–16, before concluding the open meetings at Afraha Stadium on March 27–28.
In a notable addition, the 2026 season will also feature two new premium, invitation-only meets.
