The race which starts at City Gate and ends at the Car Park behind the Eagles’ Square is in three categories the full marathon (42.195 km) the 10 km Family Race and the 5km for students.

The races will be preceded by a 10 days Marathon Expo at The Pavilion beside International Conference Center.

Istifanus revealed at the meeting that arrangement has been concluded with the Department of Tourism FCTA to give visitors coming for the race a taste of FCT, “we will provide transportation and we also trained tour guides that will take visitors and residents who are interested in major tourist centres in the FCT around the city”.

Race Director Olukayode Thomas said the first of the final last four route tours of Abuja International Marathon is slated for Sunday, March 9, 2023. The tour is  for managers, sponsors, and partners, “though we have embarked on many route tours in the past, the essence of the final four tours is to give our staff, especially ad-hoc staff and even our volunteer, most of them Youth Corpers, to have a thorough understanding of the route so that they could be of immense assistance to all runners, spectators and others.”

Thomas revealed that there would be a total close of the entire route on race day for about 14 hours, “from 12 midnight of Saturday, April 2023 till 2 pm there will be a total shutdown of the entire route, but FCT Department of Transportation will tell residents and visitors alternatives routes three weeks before the race”.

Istifanus appealed to residents of FCT to visit the Expo and to also come out and  cheer runners on race day, “ the biggest beneficiary of the race are residents of FCT, apart from the health benefits that come with running, the Abuja International Marathon will boost our economy, boost tourism and engage and empower our youth positively.”. Thomas said “ major artiste from different parts of the country will perform at the finish points. We appeal to residents and visitors to join us at the finish point where they will be refreshed by 7 Up Bottling Company. ”.
