For more than a year, I had the privilege of mentoring a young Belgian runner as he created a documentary about Kapchorwa's remarkable running culture. Watching the first draft reminded me that the strongest stories are rarely about medals alone. They are about forests, communities, resilience and the people who quietly shape extraordinary places.
