14 DAYS TO GO: Abuja Prepares for the PremiumTrust Bank Abuja City International Half Marathon
In 14 days, the Federal Capital Territory will host one of the most anticipated sporting events on the African athletics calendar, the PremiumTrust Bank Abuja City International Half Marathon.
This event is more than just a race, it represents a convergence of sport, tourism, community and national pride.
Thousands of runners, elite athletes, professional clubs, corporate teams, fitness enthusiasts and first-time participants will take to the streets of Abuja for a 21.1km test of endurance, discipline and determination.
The marathon race is designed to showcase the beauty and vibrancy of the city, will wind through its major districts, offering participants and spectators a unique view of Nigeria’s capital at its finest, orderly, energetic and alive.
Nilayo Sports Limited, the organizer of the marathon, says its partnership reflects a deeper commitment beyond organizing a race, a commitment to wellness, youth empowerment, and the promotion of Nigeria as a destination for world-class sporting events.
“We believe in building excellence, and there is no better symbol of excellence than the marathon where consistency, preparation and resilience meet,” Nilayo Sports Limited noted.
As the countdown continues, organizers have intensified preparations from route safety and medical support to logistics, timing systems and volunteer mobilization to ensure a seamless experience for athletes and spectators alike.
The marathon offers prize money and global ranking points for elite runners. While it offers something far more valuable for everyday runners, the opportunity to be part of history.
