About KIMbia Athletics
KIMbia Athletics, founded by Tom Ratcliffe (US) and Dieter Hogen
(Germany), will concentrate on long distance track events, cross
country and road running, with a special emphasis on the marathon.
Additional members of the management team are former athlete Godfrey
Kiprotich (Kenya) and Jane Howarth (Great Britain), who was formerly of
the IAAF and a long time KIM employee in London.
KIMbia is the Swahili word meaning "to run". The selection of
this name is both an acknowledgement of the impact Kenyan runners
have had on international athletics, as well as serving to continue the
legacy of the late Kim McDonald. KIMbia Athletic Management would
surely not exist without the successful work done by Kim
McDonald, one of the world’s finest athlete managers until his
untimely death in 2001. Kim McDonald’s efforts served to guide a
large number of runners to the world class level and today his name as
well as his philosophy lives on in KIMbia.
