Nigerian Brewery is a major player in sports sponsorship and promotion in Nigeria.
We are indeed thrilled that such a socially responsible corporate organization has thrown its weight behind us for the second year running.
This is a testimony to the growing popularity of the Okpekpe race”. Says Zack Amodu, the race’s director of the organization.
He further said their target is to get a gold label for the race next year and the new IAAF road race rules have made it compulsory that we use the template of the label we are aspiring for in the event preceding the label.
This means that this year’s race will have a gold label standard written all over it especially in terms of the quality of the elite field.”
The seventh edition of the Okpekpe international 10km road race will hold on Saturday, May 25, 2019, and it will be live on television across the globe via Supersport, its official broadcast partner.
