Among the participants was Christopher, a member of Samba-Corée who took part in the race alongside his labmates.
The marathon provided an opportunity to embrace the competitive spirit while fostering camaraderie among runners. Christopher completed the race in an impressive 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 35 seconds, marking a personal achievement in long-distance (10KM) running.
After crossing the finish line, Christopher proudly displayed the Gabonese flag, highlighting the presence of his country on the international sports scene. His gesture symbolized pride, resilience, and the determination to represent Gabonese excellence beyond academic and professional fields.
