Africa’s largest airline, Ethiopian Airlines, has sponsored the 2021 Sekondi-Takoradi Marathon (STM) slated for Sunday, December 26, 2021 in Takoradi with two return air tickets.
The sponsorship package is for the winners of the competition–both male and female champions–to enable them participate in the international marathon which will be held in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2022.

She said her outfit would provide the needed support for the two winners to be in the UK to exhibit their talents.
Project Manager for Sekondi-Takoradi Marathon, Mr. William D. Ezah, expressed appreciation to the airline for supporting the event.
He said they would do their best to ensure all the needed benefits entitled to the airline were provided.
Mr. Ezah said so far, close to 300 athletes with five keep fit clubs have registered for the event, with the numbers expected to rise by close of registration date Saturday, December 25.
