Richard Atta garnered recognition as the best Para-athlete, displaying remarkable skill and securing the second position in the amateur race. Additionally, Okoro Joan Patrick achieved the fastest speed among the female participants.
The event also celebrated the diversity of the participants, as 57-year-old Annang Adams proved age was no barrier by completing the race, while 16-year-old Phill Ayensu showcased his talent and determination as the youngest cyclist in the competition.
However, last year’s champion, Anthony Boakye, fell short of the top 10 this time around.
