16 in 16 - Western Region

Project 16 in 16 is a national initiative: one 16km race in every region of Ghana. It’s an exploration of the culture, community, and essence of the region we are in, as well as an opportunity to give back.

Western Region kicks off at the vibrant Takoradi Mall, right in the beating commercial heart of the Oil City. While you run, you’ll be part of a collective experience of movement, connection, and purpose, feeling the dynamic pulse and coastal warmth of one of Ghana’s most storied twin cities.

Prepare for an electrifying atmosphere from start to finish—rich highlife rhythms, infectious street-side energy, and a community of runners moving with one shared stride. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner chasing a new milestone or lacing up for your first 16km challenge, this is an opportunity to push your limits, tap into the spirit of the West, and join a movement that goes far beyond the pavement.

16 regions. 16 narratives. 16 unique experiences. One Ghana.
