Born in 1992, Kamworor emerged as a promising distance runner in the late 2000s and early 2010s. He competed in national and regional championships before breaking through to international level. At the World Cross Country Championships, Kamworor won the title, confirming his status as one of the world's greatest cross country runners and continuing Kenya's dominance in this event.
