Warri/Effurun Peace Marathon to showcase corporate relay contest

By Daily Sports Nigeria on November 3, 2022

One of the new innovations for this year’s Warri/Effurun Peace Marathon is the corporate relay race, organisers of the event have said. The event is billed for November 26 in Warri, Delta State.

Already, organisations and institutions have registered their interest to participate in the contest meant to be a fun run, and also foster good relationship between members of the community and the corporate and private organisations operating in and around the Warri and Effurun environment.

“It is a novel idea we are introducing to expand participation in the Warri/Effurun Peace Marathon. It is also in line with our intentions to bring members of the community together to live in peace and harmony. We have corporate organisations, institutions, security forces and even churches that have shown interest to participate and it is going to be fun,” WEPM Chief organiser, Mrs. Joyce Bozimo said.

 

According to the coordinator of the corporate relay race, Eddie Ukodie, it is a straight 10km race and each team will present five runners who will cover 2km each from the starting point to the finish line.

According to Ukodie, at every 2km covered by the team runner, the baton would be exchanged to the next runner.

“We are expecting a good turnout, and we are making all the arrangements to have a hitch-free competition,” Ukodie stated.

Meanwhile, registration for the individual race is ongoing by both top Nigerian long distance runners and athletes within the Warri locality.
