ALOIS Bunjira has confirmed that First Mutual Microfinance has taken over as the main corporate partner for this year’s Albun Honde Valley Marathon.
It will be held on November 21 in Honde Valley, Manicaland.
Bunjira, through his Albun Academy, had been partnered by NetOne or many years.
But, there is a new partner for the race.
“We are happy to officially announce the coming on board of First Mutual Microfinance who are our new main sponsor after the withdrawal of NetOne whom we had partnered since inception.
“The race will cater for a 42km full marathon and preparations have started in earnest and we look forward to more registrations and we are expecting a big and better event this year,” said Bunjira.
Participants will compete in the 5km fun run, the 10km, 21km and 42km races, with categories for the juniors (under 20 years), veterans (40-49 years), Masters (50-59 years) and Grandmasters (over 60 years).
“We are bracing for a bigger and better event next weekend.
“To ensure that all is set, in the build-up to the event, we conducted a route visit alongside our corporate partners and other stakeholders as a way of putting the final touches to the logistics.
“We are looking forward to a remarkable outing, different from the past editions in many aspects, one punctuated by spills and thrills.
“We have spiced up things on many fronts just to give the whole event a truly majestic vibe and irresistible feel.
“We have also organised an epic outdoor adventure on the Eastern Highlands – a thrilling two-day tour to discover, explore and create unforgettable memories with loved ones in both Honde Valley and Nyanga,” said Bunjira.
