The third edition of the Kwahu Easter Mountain Marathon has officially launched today at MJ Grand Hotel at East Legon, Accra.
According to the organizers, this year’s marathon is scheduled for Saturday 11 April 2020 during the Easter festivities at Kwahu.
The event has marked for a 21 kilometers race through the principal streets of Kwahu Mpraeso starting from the Kwahu GOIL Filling Station and finishing at the Kwahu Traditional Council.
This year’s event has been reduced from 42 to 21 kilometers due to the nature of the mountainous area of Kwahu which exuded every strength from athletes in previous years as juxtaposed to World Athletics Marathon of 42.198 kilometers.
Winners of this year’s Marathon will run home with amount of GHc10,000.00, GHc5,000.00 and GHc1,500.00 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd position respectively for the men and GHc5,000.00, GHc2,500.00 and GHc1,500.00 cedis for the women which is an improvement to last year’s event.
