The Black Star Marathon is a non-governmental not-for-profit sports development organization that was established by Eric Kwame Adae, a former elite Ghanaian long-distance runner. Our purpose is to help focus attention on and develop long-distance running in Ghana, both at the professional and recreational levels.
We aim to be Ghana’s premier road running event by nurturing the next generation of healthy and physically active athletes and citizens.
By participating in the Black Star Marathon, you can join thousands of runners from different countries and backgrounds who are running to support charities and causes that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, while pushing themselves to set personal records and stay physically fit. Whether you run a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon, you can make a difference in the world by raising awareness and funds for the causes that matter to you.
