Athletics Malawi leaders say developing homegrown talent remains key to boosting the sport nationally. AM Vice President James Phiri shared this message on Tuesday at the Balaka Run competition organized by Andiamo Trust. He noticed promising young athletes throughout the country who could bring home medals with proper training.
Balaka District Sports Officer Moses Arthur Chimbetete praised Andiamo Trust for supporting athletics development for two decades. He urged parents to view sports as career paths for their children rather than just activities. Alessandro Marchetti, Deputy Director of Andiamo Trust, promised continued backing for athletics programs in Balaka District.
The event served multiple purposes beyond competition, including raising awareness about Gender-Based Violence issues. Participants came from various schools and clubs inside and outside Balaka. Student winners received school bags and supplies as prizes, while club athletes earned cash rewards for participating in the races.
