Walking
If you are starting from the Eldoret town center (e.g., near the Eldoret Market), head east on Kenyatta Street towards the intersection with Uganda Road. Turn left onto Uganda Road and continue until you reach the junction with Nandi Road. Turn right onto Nandi Road and walk straight. You will pass through residential areas, so stay aware of your surroundings. After about 20 minutes of walking, you will reach the Eldoret City of Champions Monument, located at G74X+HF9. Look for the monument, which is a prominent local landmark.
Bicycle
From the Eldoret town center, rent a bicycle from a local vendor. Start your ride by heading east on Kenyatta Street towards Uganda Road. Turn left onto Uganda Road, then turn right onto Nandi Road. Continue biking straight for about 3 kilometers. The ride should take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on your speed. Look for signs or local people to guide you if you feel lost. The Eldoret City of Champions Monument will be visible as you approach.
Public Transport (Matatu)
Find a matatu (shared minibus) heading towards the Nandi Hills or any matatu that is going along Nandi Road. You can catch one from the Eldoret bus stage near the market. Inform the conductor that you are going to the Eldoret City of Champions Monument. The fare is usually affordable, around 50-100 KES. Once you arrive, you can ask the conductor to drop you at the nearest point to the monument. From there, it should be a short walk (about 5-10 minutes) to reach the monument.
