Due to strong winds wreaking havoc at the Chepsamo venue, the funeral service for World Marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum will now take place at the Chepkorio showgrounds in Keiyo South.
Organizers made the decision to relocate the event citing safety concerns prompted by the adverse weather conditions.
Photographs circulating on social media depict the aftermath of the powerful winds, showing the extent of the destruction caused as tents were uprooted and hurled, some colliding with parked vehicles.
Among the visible damage, two cars bore the brunt, one sporting a shattered windscreen and significant frontal bonnet damage, while another exhibited noticeable body damage.
