Transcend Talent Academy

A School for the Most Talented

In 2021, Emily & Keith Davis initiated their partnership with 2012 Boston Marathon champion, Wesley Korir.  Emily & Keith helped raise the funds to build a school building for a running academy created by Korir.  Transcend graduated their first class in December 2024.  The class received the highest marks in the entire county on the end of grade test.  

Transcend Students

Transcend students must come from a very humble background, meet academic standards, and try out at running trials for a position in the Academy.  If they qualify, the student will receive a 4 year high school scholarship and elite run coaching.  Former Transcend students have gone on to USA college scholarships and sponsorship as professional runners from brands including Asics, Hoka, and Puma.

Why Transcend?

Emily & Keith have been serving in Kenya since 2014.  Partnering with Wesley Korir provides the perfect blend of running & service work in Kenya.  In Kenya, high school is not free and most Kenyans cannot afford to attend high school.  Emily & Keith are partnering with Wesley to work toward ending generational poverty in Cherangany, Kenya.
