The FlySolomons Peace Marathon 2025 will be held in eastern part of Guadalcanal in August this year.
Jenny Lobo, marketing supervisor for Solomon Airlines Ltd stressed this during a press conference yesterday.
She explained that this year Solomon Airlines is partnering with Tourism Solomons, Ministry of Culture and Tourism (MCT) and Travel Solomons to host the event.
Lobo pointed out that unlike in the past where the event was usually held in the western part of Guadalcanal, from Kakabona and further down, this time round, they plan to have the race at the eastern side of Guadalcanal, from bloody ridge and around Tenaru school area.
She said apart from the peace marathon; they will also commemorate the 83rd Anniversary Battle of Guadalcanal.
Lobo mentioned that they have received interest from international runners as well to be part of the event.
She said Solomon Airlines sees the event as a good initiative to have as an airline and it’s a commitment for them to give back to the community as well.
“So, we are giving back in a way that we want to get everyone to come out from their workplaces, communities, come out from wherever they belong and then we can come together to take part in this event.”
She said the event is about promoting peace where we not only talk about peace but we will also be running for peace whilst at the same time marking the 83rd Anniversary Battle of Guadalcanal.
