The maiden edition of the Akoma FM/Verna Ashanti Marathon has blown the minds of many in the city especially the sponsors and partners of the event.

It was an august occasion spiced with colour, vivacity and excitement. Athletes from all corners of the country and beyond –someone came from Burkina Faso and another.from Zimbabwe –trooped to Kumasi to compete, both on professional and recreational grounds.

Various top performing athletes received medals, certificates, fat cash prizes, as well as gift hampers from sponsors and partners.

But, according to the Marketing Manager of Akoma 87.9 FM in Kumasi, Maxwell Ofori Nkrumah, the true winners of the Marathon are the sponsors of the occasion.

“From heavily subsidised pre-event promotions on Media General’s TV, radio and online plaforms, including TV3 and Onua TV, the colourful and vibrant activations on the day of event, graced with a live coverage on TV, as well as post event news coverage of the marathon on the nation’s biggest and most authoritative news platform, News 360 on TV3, No wonder some clients are already requesting for the event to happen twice every year instead of once.

“Congratulations to the main sponsor, Verna Mineral Water, as well as all the other partners, including Mozzart Bet, SP Citrus Punch Drink, Pantha Energy Drink, Street Sense Organisation, M-Baidoo Multimedia, MeySu Fruit Juice, Aquatabs Water Purification Tablets, Ashanti Regional SRC, National Sports Authority, and St. Ben’s Jewellery. Truly, you are the winners of the maiden Akoma FM/Verna Ashanti Marathon. And enthusiastically, the management of Media General can’t wait to do it again and again with you,” he enthusiastically shared.
