Over 500 athletes, led by a Plateau State invasion from Abia, Ondo, Imo, Lagos, and Delta, have locked in for Saturday’s 10km Owan Marathon in Sabongida-Ora, Edo—amped up with slicker organization eyeing international stars next year.
Organizer Chris Ojo, backed by Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), hailed upgrades from modest roots to global ambitions, spotting talents who’ve hit Lagos and Okpekpe stages amid economic hikes doubling logistics costs. Edo House Speaker Blessing Agbebaku pledged statewide push, channeling youth energy from streets to tracks.
This talent hunt promises Edo sports boom and nationwide discovery.
