Chepterit town witnessed an unusual surge of activity after SportyBet Kenya made a high profile stop as part of its road to Eldoret campaign, drawing residents and sports fans into a day of interaction, entertainment, and anticipation ahead of the 2025 Kipchumba Karori Eldoret International Volleyball Tournament.
From early hours, the town centre began filling up as branded vehicles arrived, music played, and curious onlookers gathered to see what was unfolding. The activation quickly turned into a focal point for sports conversations, with fans engaging the SportyBet team to learn more about the upcoming volleyball tournament and how they could take part in ongoing promotions tied to the build up.
The Chepterit stop was designed to connect directly with local fans while taking the message of the Eldoret tournament beyond the major towns. Organisers used the opportunity to explain match dates, venues, and participating teams, encouraging residents to travel to Eldoret between December 18 and December 21, 2025, to support clubs competing for top honours.
Crowds remained engaged throughout the day as games, demonstrations, and interactive sessions kept fans involved. Many residents took time to understand how the platform works, while others shared stories about past matches, favourite teams, and their expectations for the upcoming tournament. The atmosphere reflected a growing interest in volleyball and local sports events.
Attention peaked when organisers announced the winner of the Nyakua Nduthi na SportyBet campaign. A local woman, identified as a long time SportyBet player, was called forward and handed the keys to a brand new motorbike in front of an excited crowd. The public handover drew cheers and applause, turning the moment into a highlight of the day for both the winner and those watching.
The presentation of the motorbike offered visible proof of the campaign’s promise to reward loyal players, addressing questions often raised about betting promotions. Residents who witnessed the handover said the moment felt genuine, noting that the winner was a familiar face from the community rather than a known name.
Beyond the celebration, the activation reinforced SportyBet Kenya’s link to the growth of volleyball in the country. This year’s Kipchumba Karori Eldoret International Volleyball Tournament is expected to feature sixteen top teams, including established clubs such as Equity Bank and KCB, with matches scheduled across several venues in Eldoret, among them the Eldoret Polytechnic grounds.
Organisers urged fans in Chepterit and neighbouring areas to attend the tournament, saying strong local support plays a key role in building competitive sports in Kenya. They noted that the tournament has continued to grow in scale and popularity, attracting increasing attention from fans and teams alike.
As the roadshow continues across different towns, the Chepterit stop stood out as a reminder that sports engagement thrives at the community level. For residents who attended, the day combined entertainment, opportunity, and a shared countdown to a major sporting event now firmly on the calendar.
