Athletics: Madoka Half marathon set for October 20

The 13th edition of the Safaricom Madoka half marathon is set for October 20 at Ngerenyi Farmers Training center in Taita Taveta County.

Event coordinator Gerald Mshanga said preparations are in top and more sponsors have shown interest of coming on board to support the event.

He added that the winners will pocket Sh 500,000 in both 21km men and women categories. 

Apart from Safaricom, Kenya Ports authority (KPA) Kenya Revenue Authority, Brookside Dairy, Amaco Insurance and Taita Taveta County government have previously supported the event. 

Launched in 2005, race founder and former cabinet Minister Marsden Madoka said the event has played a big role in churning out athletics greats such as the 2012 World Half Marathon Bronze Medalist John Mwangangi among others. (Ernest Ndunda)
