Due to prevailing security concerns across the country, the Cross River State Government has cancelled the 2025 edition of the Agbokim Waterfalls Green Marathon.
According to a statement posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) by Senator Bassey Otu, the executive governor of the state, the cancellation of the event was based on prevailing security situation in the country.
He wrote, “After a careful review of the prevailing security situation across the country, I have directed the cancellation of the 2025 Agbokim Waterfalls Green Marathon.
“This decision was not an easy one, especially considering the passion, planning, and anticipation that this event inspires every year. However, the safety of our people, our athletes, and our visitors must always come first.
“I sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause to organisers, partners, and participants. Please be assured that future editions will return stronger, safer, and better organised, with the full support and attention of the state government.”
“Thank you for your understanding and continued support,” the governor added.
