The 13th edition of the annual Brufut Marathon Run is scheduled for Saturday December 8th 2007 in the Coastal town of Brufut.

The Male 10km race is shifted to begin at Standard Chartered Bank at Traffic light on Kairaba Avenue.
Owing to the increased participants in the event, we decided to increase the distance of the event.

The male disable will start at the Turn Table in Brusubi, the female at Gamtel-Brufut main Junction towards TAF/ AU Village Estate, Ghana town then straight to Brufut Lower Basic School.
The usual half kilometer Children Race is expected to gather momentum.

The 1.5km Walk Race is replaced with ‘kanyleng’ (Griots) race, what an interesting event.
However, the second Bicycle Race will begin at 22nd July Square, Banjul Via Bond Road, Bakau Cape point, MRC, Traffic light, Turn table, Brusubi, Ghana Town finally Brufut Lower Basic School.
