This one word that today defines both Liberia and the Liberia Marathon is potential. As Liberia’s story of progress and development is not yet complete, nor is the Liberia Marathon’s – it is just starting.

Competitions for disabled athletes in wheelchairs and on crutches have also been an established component of all the Liberia Marathon editions and will continue to do so.
Globally, the female participation in road races is finally increasing and the Liberia Marathon is keen to follow the trend. In 2022 race, 23% of the finishers were women. This number shall further increase. The Liberia Marathon Trust makes efforts to attract female participation in all races and cannot wait to cheer many women over the finish line.
