The official governing body for Obstacle Sports in Kenya — uniting athletes, clubs and county associations under one national structure for OCR, Ninja Warrior and Adventure Racing.
Kenya Obstacle Sports Federation (KOSF) is the recognised national governing body responsible for the development, regulation and promotion of obstacle-based sport across the country. KOSF exists to give athletes, clubs and counties a single, credible home for Obstacle Course Racing, Ninja Warrior and Adventure Racing.
Our mandate spans grassroots development to elite representation — setting standards for competition, supporting local clubs and county associations, and connecting Kenyan athletes to the international obstacle sports movement.
Setting the rules, standards and structure that keep Kenyan obstacle sport safe, fair and credible.
Growing the sport from grassroots clubs to county associations, and onward to elite competition.
Linking Kenyan athletes and clubs to World Obstacle and UIPM World standards and events.
Every KOSF discipline shares the same core test — get from start to finish over, under and through whatever stands in the way. Here's how each one is different.
Obstacle Course Racing is a foot-race sport where competitors take on physical obstacles over distances ranging from short sprint layouts to multi-kilometre courses that blend trail, road and cross-country running.
Popularised worldwide through televised competition and inspired by Japan's Sasuke format, Ninja Warrior tests grip, balance and power across staged obstacle rigs of escalating difficulty.
A multi-discipline team endurance sport combining navigation across unmarked terrain with trekking, mountain biking and paddling — sometimes extended with climbing, abseiling or white-water rafting.
A coordinated marketing push to activate all three disciplines nationwide — building visibility, participation and pipeline for OCR, Ninja Warrior and Adventure Racing across Kenya.
Whichever way you take part in obstacle sport, there's a membership pathway for you — as an individual athlete, a club, or a county association.
