Elite athletes gear up to contest despite looming National Sports Festival
Despite the closeness to National Sports Festival in Asaba, Delta State, National elite athletes are gearing up for the Warri Effurun Peace Marathon bill for Saturday, November 26 2022.
The opening ceremony of the NSF-tagged Delta 2022 is scheduled for November 28, but the elite runners are itching to run the 10km race, which they see as a good preparation for the competition expected at NSF.
"I'm looking forward to competing at the Warri Effurun Peace Marathon. My training is going on well and I hope to run a better time that I did last year," Sadjo Ishmael.
Also, female runner Rose Akusho stated that she training really hard to upstage Ruth Abiye-David who the women race in her first-ever appearance.
Training has been good and by God's grace, we would be in Warri to do our best. Meanwhile, the WEPM registration is still ongoing and many athletes for the race and fun run have registered.
." We expect that all participants will gather at BB Hotel on November 25 to collect their track Certificate. We are doing all that we can do to ensure a hitch-free race." Mrs Joyce Bozimo, who is the Chief Organiser.
