MILO® Marathon Runners To Be Screened
Participants of the upcoming Accra MILO Marathon race have been advised to bring along two passport-size photographs for registration.
The registration which costs GH¢5.00 is currently ongoing and ends on September 20, 2011 – barely 24 hours before the start of the potentially enthralling race.
However, the participants in both the U-15 and the mass sports categories would be medically examined to ensure their fitness.
According to the organizers, parents, who are non-participants, may also join their kids for the U-15 race - not for competition, but to have fun and reunite with one another.
However, participants are encouraged to register in groups other than individual basis in order to enhance a team base work.
The race which starts exactly 6:00am for the U-15 participants, and 6:30am local time for the mass sport runners, will attract some mouth-watering prizes.
For the mass sports, winners in both male and female events will rake home GH¢10,000. However, winners of the U-15 event in the same sexes are expected to smile away with GH¢1,200 each.
A sparkling prize money of GH¢7,000 will also go the way of the 1st runner-up for both male and female mass sports runners, while GH¢800 each goes in favour of both male and female U-15 race 1st runners- up.
The male and female 2nd runners-up for the mass sports pocket home GH¢5,000 each with that of the U-15 grabbing home GH¢500 each.
However, the 4th and 10th positions for male and female mass sports runners get GH¢750 each, while GH¢150 goes for the U-15 participants.
The 11th-20th positions male and female mass sport runners take home GH¢500, but GH¢75 go to the U-15 participants, that is, both male and female.
Again, the 21st -50th positions male and female mass sports runners will get GH¢ 150 each, while the U-15 participants get GH¢50.
The 51st and 100th position male and female mass sports runners slip home GH¢ 75.00 with the U-15 participants slipping home GH¢25 for their effort.
The oldest mass sports runner for both male and female events takes home GH¢700.00 each.
