Sang first dabbled into road running at the Chicago Marathon last year in October, clocking three hours and seven minutes and with cheers ringing from Kenyan legends, who have competed and conquered the Berlin course, Sang is now targeting to stop the clock in less than three hours in the German political capital.
Sang, also an avid golfer, recently clocked a personal best one hour, 31 minutes and 04 seconds at the Nairobi City Marathon, running alongside training partner John Terer, Managing Director and proprietor of motor sales company, Car City.
Terer will also accompany Sang to run in the Berlin Marathon.
German Ambassador to Kenya Sebastian Groth joined a host of dignitaries in lauding the initiative and pledged to donate sports equipment to the Kapmaso Primary School and Kapmaso Secondary School in Kericho County where the initial beneficiaries of the Joe Sang Foundation charity are schooling.
Former world marathon record holder Patrick Makau, who represented former National Olympic Committee of Kenya president Paul Tergat, and Paralympian Henry Wanyoike willed Sang to go forth and conquer Berlin.
The Foundation has partnered with several corporations to help realise dreams of underprivileged children in Kenya.
