Note
A regular plural, formed with a plain -s, and it belongs only to the noun. Kenyan is also an adjective, but English adjectives never take a plural ending, so the phrasing is Kenyan runners and Kenyan families, never Kenyans runners. The noun itself is broad: it covers people from Kenya and also people of Kenyan descent who may live elsewhere.
