We are determined to out on great show,” Kajuga told Sunday Sport after yesterday’s training session at Amahoro stadium.The competition’s organising committee has promised a good race, which comes even before the dust settles on the chaos that followed last year’s event in which the then athletics federation’s officials were accused of embezzling up to Rwf38 million meant for organisation. They were all forced to relinquish power.The marathon is divided into five categories; full marathon (42km), half marathon (21km), 10.54km marathon team relays, 5km course for children and 5km run for fun race.Last year‘s marathon winner Felix Karambe Ilpcitirochir has already confirmed participation.
