The Abidjan Ivory Coast Marathon will follow the Nigeria Port Harcourt Marathon. The plan is to reach 3 to 4 countries in Africa for those people traveling long distance to run in Africa. These races will give runner opportunity to walk / run (no time limit) covering several countries in short time with time in-between for sightseeing and rest. It is also practical since the airfares are resendable and short travel time between counties. It is ideal for those runners traveling on limited budget. We do our research to come up with best options for hotels near safest course to run and to accommodate all budgets.
This low-key event requires participants to run using GPS devices and submitting their times upon completing the 42.195 km (26.2 miles). Course detail, race start time TBD.
The host hotel for the race will be near airport Abidjan (ABJ), this is subject to change once we arrive and physically measure and evaluate the area. The entry fee is free but you will need to register to ensure commitment to show up. There will be a charge of $15 per medal to be paid in cash or bank transfer if you want to get a finisher medal. You will have to email the race director to request for medal or show your interest in WhatsApp group created for this event (please contact +1 832 338 6095 by WhatsApp to be added to the group).
This is a self support race, which means you will have to bring your own drinks and nutrition to keep you hydrated during the race. Donations will be accepted in cash or bank transfer to hire volunteers for timing.
The runners have the opportunity to fly to Dakar Senegal (DSS) direct flight from Abidjan (ABJ) the next day after for the next event.
