Enugu city International Marathon to attract over 100 international runners, say organisers

Posted : 23 April 2025

All roads will lead to Enugu State on May 3, as over one hundred international athletes are expected to arrive in the Coal City for the first edition of the Enugu City International Marathon.


History is about to be made with international runners from all over the world, alongside Nigeria’s top runners, expected to light up the streets of Enugu in what is anticipated to be the biggest road race in the history of southeastern Nigeria.


Organisers of the race, Nilayo Sports Management Company, stated that the Enugu State Government is determined to make the race a significant event on the state's sporting calendar by organising a race of global standards.


Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, said, “We want to use this race to tell our own unique story and showcase Enugu as a tourist and commercial destination in the South East.”


“We are really looking forward to this race, and we are fully prepared to welcome all the international and local athletes to our state, and to showcase our beautiful city and way of life to the rest of the world.”


Nilayo Sports Management Company, having organised several international road races across the country — especially the highly prestigious Access Bank Lagos City Marathon — has promised nothing short of a world-class event when the race holds on May 3rd, 2025.


The Government of Enugu State has, however, made the event more than just a race; it will be a complete sporting and entertainment experience, featuring a musical performance by one of Nigeria’s top A-list artistes, Kcee.
