ZAAA secretary general Khamis Gulam said yesterday that runners from 30 nations had confirmed to take part in the race recognised by the world governing body, IAAF.

He named the athletes as Sarah Ramadhani, Abubakar Said and Marco Joseph.

He said Marco qualified for the race after finishing sixth in a race held in Nigeria while Sarah qualified after winning a race in Kampala, Uganda. However, he did not say the qualification of Said.
