His personal best time in the 1500 metres was 3:31.87 minutes, achieved in July 1996 in Lausanne. His last international competition took place in 2001.
After his brief athletic career he became a professional soldier. He also owned a farm near Sugoi, an area close to Eldoret in which were living other athletes: Moses Tanui, Joyce Chepchumba and her husband Aron, and David Kiptoo.[1]
Kipkorir was killed in a military vehicle crash on the road between Nakuru and Eldoret.[1]
