The media can either build or destroy an athlete, depending on how an athlete presents themselves and Ebenyo chooses to tread carefully when it comes to interacting with it.
The Kenyan distance sensation disclosed that he has ever snubbed an interview from a leading Kenyan station, not because they had bad intentions, but becausehe is not out to chase fame.

Who will blink first? Track and field rivalries to watch out for in 2025
Who will come out on top in 2025? This article explores the top track and field rivalries set to dominate the season.
In a past interview with Sports Wave Africa Foundation, Daniel Ebenyo further pointed out that his career involves running and not doing media interviews and that’s why he only does it when he feels compelled.
He revealed that staying away from the media has helped him keep out of trouble and enjoy his life when he is not running, insisting that fully focusing on his career has helped him become successful.
“I always let God lead…I do best and work hard and the position I get, I will be very satisfied and happy. I don’t like social media and even one day, they called me to talk on NTV but I refused. In all my life, I’m not chasing fame, even if I’m running. I don’t love publicity,” Daniel Ebenyo said.
“That one has kept me well…I love winning and I’m just doing my best because this is my career and remember, running is temporary. If you chase fame, you can’t eat fame. It’s just like a farmer, if you don’t prepare everything well, you won’t harvest anything. It’s not just about getting what you sowed but it’s about getting more. I don’t like social media and I never agree to most of the things…”
Last season, Ebenyo had a mixed season, starting with the cross-country races before making his first track appearance in a 10,000m race at the Athletics Kenya National Police Service Track and Field Championships.
He proceeded to the Prefontaine Classic where he failed to make an impact after falling, which forced him to finish distant eighth and miss out on the Olympic team to Paris.
