Kelvin Kiptum's wife is out of the country for the first time since the marathoner was buried. She is currently in the Netherlands.
The marathoner died in a tragic road accident on February 11 and was laid to rest in Uasin Gishu county on Friday, February 23.

Asenath reminisced about the best moments spent with Kiptum, describing him as a great father to their kids, Kigen and Precious Cherop.
"My dear love, I can't learn how to say goodbye to you with weak fingers and pain in my heart. It's unbelievable that today I have learned to stay with our kids without you coming home again. I've cried until no more. I will miss you the love of my life forever, until we meet again. But I promise to gather my strength for the sake of our children, I hope in the spirit world, you'll inspire me to stand as the pillar of our children, I promise to make them smile in your honour," she said.
The heartbroken widow was at some point spotted in deep thought while holding hands with her daughter.
The 24-year-old was preparing to run the first sub-two-hour marathon in April at the Rotterdam Marathon before he met his untimely death.
On April 12, a day before the Rotterdam Marathon, Kiptum's wife flew to the Netherlands and attended an event, before the competition, which was slated for Sunday 14.
Asenath wore a blue trouser suit, a white top, sandals and cute earrings.
The mother of two looked simple and beautiful in cornrows and was at some point spotted enjoying a chat with two gentlemen at the event.
