Enugu City Marathon gathers more top International Athletes

Posted : 24 March 2025

Top international athletes have continued to show interest in being part of the Enugu City Marathon, which is scheduled to be held on May 3, 2025, in the Coal City State.


The maiden edition of the Enugu City Marathon has generated widespread attention and excitement, both within and outside the country, from interested runners.


Nigeria is undoubtedly becoming a hub for road races, not only in Africa but also in the world, especially due to the huge success of road races like the Gold-labelled Access Bank Lagos City Marathon and the Ogun Women Run.


Organizers of the Enugu City Marathon, Nilayo Sports Management Company and the government of the state, have begun working on modalities to ensure that it sets new standards for the race.


The race is expected to showcase the beautiful landscape and tourist potential of Enugu state to the entire world and further highlight the tireless efforts of Governor Peter Mbah in transforming the state into one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing modern states.


The Enugu State Commissioner for Sports, Barrister Lloyd Ike Ekweremadu, stated that the state cannot wait to welcome all the runners and that the interest from international athletes has been very impressive.


“His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah, understands clearly the power of sports and where Enugu stands in the history of Nigerian sports. The Governor is very determined to return the state to its glory days of sporting excellence, and this is one of the ways,” he said.


“As a state, we have everything needed to stage a world-class road race, and the government is ready to make history come May 3rd this year,” he concluded.
