Philaries Kisang is a professional runner and member of the run2gether team based in Kenya. Philaries was 2nd at Sierre Zinal last year and was the 2nd place finisher at the World Championships vertical race in Austria. Last year she raced and won Thyon-Dixence the week before Sierre Zinal, but this year she is coming into the race fresh. We are excited about Philaries because of her change in training location leading into this year’s Sierre Zinal.
