Twincity Marathon 2018

It is time of the year again for one of the premier marathon events in the country - the Twincity Marathon. The 2018 race will be its 4th edition since its inception in 2015, where the number of participants have grown over the years – from 4,500 runners in 2015 to close to 8,000 runners in 2017, making it one of the biggest marathon events in the country.

The 2018 edition will feature the theme ‘Nenikikamen’, (which means, “Rejoice we conquer” or, simply, “We have won”). It was the message delivered by Pheidippides, the messenger of the Battle of Marathon who ran from Marathon to Athens with the news of the great victory his people had over the Persians at Marathon, before he died. The theme was chosen as a symbol of the battle that every runner fights during the marathon (as well as during pre-marathon), and the determination that each one of us possess to cross the finish line with only one message to deliver – “We have won!” against our own battle.
