Accra International Marathon Set For September 27th

Organizers of the Accra International Marathon (AIM) will on the 27th of September bring Accra to live as they introduce their ninth year in the AIM at the beachfront of the Labadi Beach Hotel.

The core goals of the AIM are to encourage and support Ghanaians to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. The event is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels; you can run, jog, walk or even do a jig. Afterwards, relax, eat, drink and be merry on the pristine lawns and beachfront of the 5-star Labadi Beach Hotel.

This year’s marathon which is aiming to keep Africa Alive, will bring together nationals from different countries to compete in numerous games including distance leisure running and walking event which will commence at Miotso and end at Labadi Beach Hotel.  An undisclosed amount of money and plenty give aways will be given to participants.

The vision of AIM is to attract national and international participants to a world-class marathon running and walking event in the nation's capital and to be a fundraising vehicle in support of The Longevity Project (the Project). The mission of the Project is to increase the life expectancy and quality of life of Ghanaians. The prevailing life expectancy is under 65 years.
