The maiden edition of the much anticipated Abuja International Marathon (AIM) has been rescheduled to hold on Saturday, April 29, 2023.
According to a statement signed by the race director, Olukayode Thomas, the new date was arrived at after extensive consultations with all the stakeholders in the industry from runners to sponsors, officials of FCTA, elite runners at home and abroad, and others.
Thomas said the decision to postpone the race which is the only full marathon authorised by the FCT administration and approved by World Athletics (WA) from the original date was painful.
“The management and staff of Unicentral Resources Generation Limited will like to use this opportunity to appreciate the general public and all the security agencies in particular for the decision to postpone the race because lives of everyone matters.
