A 10-kilometre uphill race called the Godwin Adukpo Hill Challenge took place in Ho on Saturday, with over 100 participants testing their endurance, resilience and determination. The inaugural event saw impressive performances from athletes across various age groups, including six-year-old Nhyira Fofana Nyafele and eight-year-old Edem Extra Senorgbe, who were among the youngest finishers.
Former Head teacher Emmanuel Keteku praised the event's convener, Godwin Adukpo, for his vision and initiative, stating that the challenge has provided an opportunity for others to learn from his journey. Adukpo, whose dream is to revive long-distance running in the Volta Region, encouraged participants to train consistently, remain disciplined and improve their performances to progress in athletics.
The National Sports Authority (NSA), Volta Region, and the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) also commended the athletes, describing the maiden event as the beginning of bigger opportunities for hill running and athletics in the region.
