Capital City Runners, Arise!!!!
You know what time it is. Running the capital city of Nigeria is no mean feat achieved only by those who have the grit, and we believe you are that runner.
This is the 4th edition of the Run Club Abuja Charity Half Marathon. If previous editions are anything to go by, you should know you are gearing up for a blast.
Date is Saturday, July 13, 2024.
Venue is Central Park.
Once it is 6AM, we begin prep for take off. It’s time to show you own these roads!
We are prepared to cater to both distances, 10km or the half marathon (21.1km) and the routes are designed to take you through some of the most picturesque parts of Abuja.
To ensure you are comfortable along the course, we have placed hydration points every 3km from start to finish.
At the end of your run, you will receive the best medal ever given at a race event in this country. You doubt it? Ask those who have run the previous editions. You are looking at the crown piece of your medal collection, a medal you will be proud to show off to others.
As always, it is a party at the finish line, but to get there, you have to run the course first.
So begin to Lace Up!!!
