The Liberia Marathon is the only official long-distance road race in Liberia. It looks back to more than a decade-long history of road-running adventure in the country since its inaugural race in 2011. Thousands of runners have proudly crossed the Liberia Marathon finish line ever since and their medals are their testimony. 

In 2022, the Liberia Marathon race day is set for Sunday, August 21. Liberians of all genders, ages, and backgrounds, regional athletes, and international guests will turn Monrovia and Paynesville into a big running party. As an official sports event of the Bicentennial Celebrations, the Liberia Marathon is proud to show Liberia and the world the potential of our country. Be a part of it and write history.

Participants can choose between three categories. Choose the famous 10k races – including races for athletes in wheelchairs and on crutches - from JFK to SKD, or challenge yourself to the medium distance from Freeport to SKD (13 miles). 

And for the brave ones, the master distance is welcoming you: The full marathon distance of 26.2 miles, leading the runners all around the city until they also find victory when crossing the finish line at SKD. 

The Liberia Marathon is organised by the Liberia Marathon Trust, a Liberia based non-profit organisation, in close partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Liberia Athletics Federation. The organising committee is a great group of committed volunteers with a strong mission is to get Liberia running in a unique race experience. 

Preparations take many months to make sure that everyone can race safely and full of joy. Their efforts are supported by dozens of ministries, agencies, corporations, partners and hundreds of volunteers that all join hands to make the Liberia Marathon a reality. 

Seeing the smiles of the finishers is worth every effort: “It wasn’t easy. I never imagined myself engaging in such sporting activity. But I did it and it’s a motivation that anything is possible,” said a proud Liberia Marathon finisher. “The pain goes, the pride lasts forever!”

Don’t compromise, choose the one and only Liberia Marathon and join the race on August 21!
