Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) is set to host the inaugural Marathon on Saturday, December 16th at the City’s five districts.
In a statement, MMTC stated that it hosted some of Kenya’s top athletes in preparation for the Marathon races, which will traverse Plaza, Grid, Airport, Golf, and Industrial districts.
“The races will include the 1600 meters road race, the 5 KM run, 10 KM run, Half Marathon and full 42 KM Marathon,” read part of the statement.
According to the facility, 3,000 runners are expected to participate in the races, which international athletes will also grace.
“The races will be run on over 150 KM of road network in the city with an additional 180 km of trails providing a challenging terrain through the five districts,” MMTC said.
The city is built around a holistic lifestyle, providing a relaxed atmosphere and innovative environment.
MMTC is a Kes 220 billion city with a sustainable green metropolis anchored by Hamptons Hospital, founded by US-based business tycoon Julius Mwale.
In January 2023, MMTC unveiled its Airport District's final renderings of a world-class multiplex sports arena.
The new multi-billion shillings sports arena will cement MMTC as a leading global talent and entertainment center and support sports medicine and tourism as part of the City’s medical tourism program.
“The multiplex arena will add to our 36-hole Hamptons golf course in the Golf District of MMTC."
“The multiplex sports arena will host all sports including soccer, rugby, basketball, Tennis, hockey, volleyball, American football and swimming,” MMTC said.
Other activities like concerts, forums, Virtual reality, and additional revenue generators will be hosted for maximum utilization of the arena.
A talent innovation school will train, nurture, and educate thousands of youth in sports, enabling them to compete internationally.
