Race News Service caught up with Eunice Chumba just before she ran the Mattoni Very Half Marathon. Eunice is 21 years old and runs for Bahrain. She has run 32:27 for 10k in 2014, and was sixth in the recent Asian Games.
Andy Edwards of Race News Service did this interview for RunBlogRun. Andy added in the notes, ” Eunice speaks of her training parters in Iten, Kenya. They have no animosity for Eunice switching allegiances to Bahrain.”
Such is the life of some young runners who will never compete for their birth countries.
