The date has been set for the Gambia’s only international marathon held annually since six years ago. Organised by the United Front, the Africell- Banjul marathon would be staged on Sunday April 27.
Hundreds of runners from home and abroad will compete in the 42 kilometers, a half marathon, 10 KM and 5 KM, male and female categories.
Para-athletes too will take part in a 4 kilo-meter race while ordinary run enthusiasts will do a walk for health race.
The biggest attraction though remains the 42 kilometers where men and women from far and wide will contest for the U$D5000 cash prize. Last year, the Kenyan duo of Dennis Kibiwott and Jane Rotich won the male and female races respectfully .
The organisers announced yesterday that the registration has started and will go on until April 20.
