Ogbomosho Marathon To Hold Nov 28
The organisers of Ogbomosho 10km road race has announced that the race will now hold on Saturday, November 28,2020.
The first road race to be held in the ancient city was originally scheduled to hold last May but was shifted due to COVID-19 enforced nationwide lockdown.
Chairman of the organising committee Prince Oyebamiji Aderemi revealed that the race has the backing of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN): “We have written to the AFN communicating the new date and have been assured of the necessary technical support by the governing body for athletics in Nigeria.”
Oyebamiji is delighted with the response his committee is getting from people in and around Ogbomosho who are happy the city is hosting a major road race event in Nigeria.
