GOIL is partnering the Kwahu Traditional Council (KTC), to organise the 2019 Kwahu Easter Mountain Marathon slated for April 20, in Kwahu.

 

The 2019 Kwahu Easter Mountain Marathon, is the second edition, since its inception last year.

 

The 42.2 kilometer race, will commence at Nkawkaw, through Obomeng, Mpreaso, Nkwakia, Abetifi and end at the Kwahuhene Palace, Abene.

 

Speaking at the launch of the event, at the Palace of the Kwahuhene, in Abene, Kwahu, Nana Baffour Agyare Yeboah Asuamah, Manwerehene of Kwahu Traditional Council (KTC), said the Kwahu Easter Mountain Marathon  will serve as a major tool for boosting tourism in the area.

He said, Kwahu was major tourism spot in the country and there was the need to open the area up for people to explore through sporting activities such as the Marathon.

“We are delighted with this Marathon which is in the second year and there seems to be growing interest in the event for both local and international athletes.

“We are looking forward to a greater event this year and we would use it as an opportunity to tell the world about tourism potentials,” he added.

This is the second year GOIL is supporting the Marathon.
