The prestigious event, which has received endorsement from the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu and is sanctioned by the Ghana Cycling Federation, aims to promote the sport while rewarding cyclists from across Ghana and the wider African continent.

"Ride Afrique has become a benchmark event for cycling in Ghana, and Africa and we're excited to see the growth and interest in the sport." - said CEO of Ride Afrique, Richard Agu.

He said both male and female cyclists will compete for honors in the 30 laps (105KM) and 15 laps (52.5KM) respectively. 

According to him, preparations are far advanced, with suitable measures outlined to ensure a successful event.

"We've put in place all the necessary arrangements to make this event a huge success, and we're looking forward to an exciting competition," he said.

Agu profoundly expressed gratitude to sponsors and partners for their tremendous support and contributions towards the development and promotion of the sport across Africa.

"We appreciate the support of our sponsors and partners, which has been instrumental in making Ride Afrique a success. We're committed to continuing to promote cycling in Ghana and Africa," he stressed.

As part of their missions, Agu revealed that the male winner of this year's competition would have a firsthand cycling experience with an organization in Spain.

"This exchange program will not only encourage more participants but also promote Ghana's cycling identity on the international stage," he added. 

Winners of the event will walk away with cash prizes, equipment and products from sponsors.
