Nilayo Sports Management, the outfit organising the Abuja City half marathon, says this year’s edition, holding this weekend, will be another masterpiece.
The declaration came from Nilayo’s Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Yetunde Olopade, who declared yesterday that preparations for the PremiumTrust Bank Abuja City International Half Marathon are in the final stage.
“We have just four days to go (from yesterday), and I can say we are fully ready for the race,” Olopade said. “We are ready to deliver another masterpiece of a marathon in the capital city.”
Speaking further, she said. “We have done this before, and we understand what Abuja expects. Every detail has been checked, from the start line to the finish line, from the safety of the athletes to the experience of the spectators.”
Olopade added that the team is determined to raise the standard again this year. “This is not just another race on the calendar. This is Abuja showing the world how a capital city hosts a world-class marathon. Our athletes will run on a fast, safe and beautiful course, and our fans will enjoy a spectacle worthy of the city,” he said.
