NAIROBI, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's five-time world cross-country champion Paul Tergat has donated his competition kit to the IAAF museum known as the Heritage Collection.
"I'm really glad to be able to donate my kit to IAAF Heritage and to support their historic exhibit in Aarhus," said Tergat here on Thursday.
Tergat, the first Kenyan to set the world record in the marathon, has generously given the uniform which he wore when striding to his third gold medal in Turin, Italy in 1997.
The kit will be on show in Aarhus, Denmark where the world will congregate for the World Cross Country Championships.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the display when I visit the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in March," Tergat added.
Tergat is one of the winners of the world title who have been invited to Aarhus, Denmark to celebrate the 200 years of cross-country running when the 43rd edition of the championships take place on March 30.
