According to Edward Boahen, project manager of the Kwahu Mountain Marathon, this year’s edition will include participation certificates for all competing athletes.
He added that medals would be awarded to participants in both the men’s and women’s races who finish between first and twentieth place.
Boahen stated that the marathon’s goals are to discover talent, promote sports tourism, and present a favorable image of the Kwahu Easter festival celebrations to visitors.
“We are just a few days away from the biggest marathon in the country, and we are excited about this year’s edition because there will be so many side attractions.
“We want to urge all athletes to prepare for the event and also plead with corporate organizations to partner with us to make this event a success,” Boahen said.
Additionally, he mentioned that all athletes competing in the race would receive free lodging during the event.
Other side attractions of the marathon include a health screening exercise and a tour of Kwahu tourist sites, among others.
