Amstel Malta Ultra, in conjunction with the Enugu State Ministry for Youth and Sports has announced the commencement of registration for the 20km Enugu Marathon, scheduled to hold on Saturday, October 1, 2022. 

This announcement, which was made at the Marathon press briefing held at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium on Saturday, symbolises the launch of the 3-week long Ultra Fitness Fiesta organised by Amstel Malta Ultra. 

“The Enugu Marathon will symbolically be the crescendo of our Ultra Fitness Fiesta initiative, while serving as a springboard for many Nigerians – especially those in eastern Nigeria – to adopt fitness as a lifestyle. Research has proven that a lot of non-communicable diseases can be prevented with adequate physical activity. With that understanding, we have made it one of the missions of Amstel Malta Ultra to constantly inspire Nigerians to stay active and fit,” said Funso Ayeni, Head of Trade Marketing, Nigerian Breweries PLC.  

“The selection of the Coal City of Enugu for this novel event was a straightforward decision as the state is renowned for its passion for fitness, sports and youth development. We also acknowledge the support of the Enugu State Government through the Enugu State Ministry for Youth and Sports, as your commitment to service and citizenry value all but assures the success of the race. Though this is the maiden edition of the Ultra Fitness Fiesta, we hope to deepen our involvement in local sporting activities such that races like this become a staple in Nigeria’s annual sporting calendar,” Ayeni concluded.
