Jackson Kabiga
Home: Kenya
Age: 23
Personal best: 2:08:12 (Fukuoka, 1998)
Kabiga has a couple of major reasons for coming to Boston for the first time after establishing himself with four years of outstanding performances around the world: 1. Three-time Boston winner Cosmas Ndeti was his idol. 2. His goal is to make a strong showing and earn a spot on the Kenyan Olympic team. Consider him highly motivated and eager to establish his place among the Kenyans. He ran a personal best of 2:08:42 in winning the 1998 Fukuoka Marathon.
Earlier in 1998, he posted his first marathon victory at Paris in 2:09:43. He won the Nagano (Japan) Olympic Commemorative Marathon last April (2:13:26), and he concluded his year by finishing 15th at New York in November.
