Photos of Elijah Manangoi, 1500m World Champion’s Beautiful Home

Kenya’s 1500m world champion Elijah Manangoi has given fans a rare look at life away from the track, posting photos of his elegant home on Instagram that have drawn thousands of likes.

The pictures show a cream-coloured bungalow with a dark pitched roof. Arched windows fitted with decorative grilles run along the front, and a soft pink door gives the entrance a distinctive touch. A sports utility vehicle is parked beneath a shaded carport.

The compound, however, steals the show. A thick, neatly trimmed lawn covers the entire front yard, dotted with young conifers and spiky palms planted at even intervals.

A low perimeter wall with a black-and-white painted kerb runs along the driveway, while tall trees in the background stand against an open blue sky.

Manangoi paired the photos with a caption on the value of lawn mowing. He wrote that lawn mowers give a compound a clean cut and make a big difference to how good it looks.

The tidy, well-ordered feel of the property reflects the discipline that has shaped his career. Manangoi announced himself to the world at the 2017 World Championships in London, where he won the 1500m title.

He followed it with a silver medal at the 2019 World Championships in Doha. In 2017, he also won the Diamond League 1500m title, cementing his place among Kenya’s finest middle-distance runners.

The photos offer a glimpse of the quieter side of a champion who has spent years in the spotlight, and suggest that for Manangoi, home is where he finds his peace.
