They’re busy hyping the event with big names and titles but forgot the basics—distance, route, registration details. How do they expect people to take them seriously? Looks more like a publicity stunt than a properly planned marathon.

Kudos to the organizers.l hope all goes well as planned.Over 500 participants is quite small for such event in a country's capital.It is like it's going to place in a rural area or is it that Nigerians generally can't run or what?The event deserves a bigger publicity to get more people to register and participate.
