NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 14 \u2013 Eliud Kipchoge runs an average pace of between 2:50\/km and 3:00\/km in his record setting races and for a recreational runner, that\u2019s close to suicidal. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, once in a while, the world record holder decides to kill off the pace and enjoy himself, and that happens when he has to take some VIPs through recreational runs.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, the Olympic champion had one such task, running with Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala , top officials from the ministry and high ranking supremos from Magical Kenya at the Karura Forest.<\/p>\n

Not really a long run, but Kipchoge\u2019s easy jog with his usual infectious smile, left CS Balala gasping for breath, but thoroughly happy to be paced by a world beater.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice, really enjoyed. It was great,\u201d Balala said, giving Kipchoge a hearty high five under the fresh breath and cold early morning wind at Karura.<\/p>\n\n\n

Balala and Kipchoge were at Karura to renew a partnership between the world record holder and Magical Kenya that will see the latter sign a six-month deal as an ambassador to market Kenya as a tourist destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cEliud is not just a local talent. He is a local, but with a global audience. That\u2019s the power that Eliud has,\u201d said CS Balala.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Tourism through Magical Kenya hope to leverage on Kipchoge\u2019s global appeal to draw more tourists to the country. As part f the six month deal, Kipchoge will also travel to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, not to compete, but as a Kenyan ambassador.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two things that you can never change in your life; your parents and where you were born. I was born in Kenya, I love Kenya and I want more people to come visit my country,\u201d said Kipchoge, in his usual philosophical self.<\/p>\n\n\n

As part of the deal, Kipchoge will visit various tourism attractions in the country which he will in turn market to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

The renewed partnership will mostly centre around conservation sites, going in line with Kipchoge\u2019s Foundation which focuses most on the green economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take Eliud to destinations that are not main areas like beaches and the Maasai Mara but we want to take him to areas where it is unique  in terms of conservation and sustainability of the environment,\u201d CS Balala said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very exciting. This is a crucial partnership. I am a Kenyan and this is bringing in patriotism and that\u2019s why I love to partner with Magical Kenya. There\u2019s a lot in store. We want to make people come and explore and know how Kenya is,\u201d said Kipchoge.<\/p>\n\n\n
