Race Director Gabriel Okon revealed that the race is open to all categories of runners.

“The event is for elites and fun runners and other classes of fitness enthusiasts from across the continent, all vying for their share of over $71,000 in prize money”.

“The marathon is not only a celebration of athleticism but also a showcase of unity and the vibrant spirit of the region.”

Okon expressed his enthusiasm for the event, describing it as an unparalleled opportunity to bring people together through sport.

“The ECOWAS Abuja International Marathon is more than a race; it’s a symbol of unity, empowerment and engagement of our youths and a celebration of healthy living. We are thrilled to welcome runners from across Africa and beyond to join this extraordinary event.”

Okon also revealed that the prize money for the 5km race has been increased, with the top ten finishers receiving cash prizes.

Registered runners will receive official race certificates, finisher medals, running vests, number bibs, participant guides, and other surprise gifts.

To register online, interested participants are to visit www.ecowasabujamarathon.org while forms can also be obtained from the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) and Athletics Associations offices nationwide or Sports Council offices in the area councils across the Federal Capital Territory.

The ECOWAS race has grown to become one of the most significant sporting events in the region, positioning Abuja as a hub for international athletics.

With its theme of fostering unity through sports, the event promises to be an unforgettable experience.
