It is organised by the Runathon Ghana Foundation, a non-profit sports organisation, and is expecting some 10,000 participants. Runathon Ghana is “passionate” about long distance running and was founded to encourage and train Ghana's long-distance runners.

The course starts at the Accra Sports stadium and finishes at Independence Square. The day includes a 50-km marathon, a wheel chair, a relay, a wheel chair course and a 5-km walk.
