Stage set for maiden F-town beMOBILE marathon

Yesterday, one of the organisers, Ben Tobedza said that the marathon has reached the number of targeted participants. “Overall, we have around 1,500 local runners who have registered for the marathon across all categories. Almost all logistics for the race have been completed. Two of the three Kenyan runners who have registered for the marathon will arrive today. I am not sure about the third participant. He has not confirmed that he will come for the marathon,” said Tobedza.

“We closed registration on Tuesday evening. 90% of those who have registered are in the 10km and 4km races while the rest are in the 21km and 42km races.”  Tobedza added that close to ten Zimbabwean athletes will arrive in the country by road early tomorrow for the event. In addition, 16 individuals with disabilities will be part of the marathon. “They will have their special 10 km category in which they will compete among themselves.”
