E.tv Ghana, in collaboration with Japan Motors, has launched the 13th edition of the Corporate Run and Walk.
The 5km run and walk slated for September 21, 2023 at the Silver Star Towers was launched yesterday.
The e.TV Ghana/Japan Motors Corporate Run and Walk is aimed at celebrating Founders’ Day, promoting regular exercise amongst Corporate Ghana, and also serve as an opportunity for businesses to connect.
Chief Executive Officer for Global Media Alliance (GMA), Ernest Boateng, indicated that the main objective of the event is to solicit funds to support the Ghana Blind Union (GBU) as part of the brands’ corporate social responsibility.
“The true essence of this run lies in our special focus on generating revenue to support the Ghana Blind Union, an organisation that is very dear to both e.TV Ghana and Japan Motors. Year after year, we have donated portions of the proceeds obtained from the e.TV Ghana/Japan Motors Corporate Run to the GBU, making a positive impact on the lives of visually impaired individuals, and this year we seek to achieve same.”
He also used the opportunity to launch a special fundraiser towards the maintenance of Ghana Blind Union’s Nissan pick-up truck.
Director of Run Ghana, Salah Kweku Kalmoni, added that the initiative has become a tradition of exercising in the country.
He encouraged individuals and organisations to massively get involved in the run to enhance their emotional and physical well-being.
On September 21, 2023, the run will take place simultaneously across four regions, Greater Accra, Western, Northern and Ashanti regions respectively.
Runners will be engaged in a warm up before the run and warm down after the run to enable blood circulation.
Participants will be treated to musical performances, games, free massages from Lotus Detox and Wellness Centers, acrobatic display, electric scooter test rides and free drinks.
Interested persons can visit e.TV Ghana premises at Asylum Down, YFM (Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi), Japan Motors (Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale), Silver Star Towers and GMA premises Dzorwulu to pick up registration forms.
A Yadea electric scooter, Yamaha generator sets, electronic appliances and souvenirs from sponsors are up for grabs.
