As preparations continue for the 2025 MASA Isonyin Marathon, prominent rice merchant, APC stalwart, Chief Mrs. Ibilola Solaja (popularly known as Madam Jumlar) has thrown her weight behind the event by sponsoring the top prize for the women’s category.
The respected Ijebu Igbo businesswoman’s support marks a major boost to the highly anticipated race, scheduled for August 23 in Isonyin, Ijebu North-East Local Government Area of Ogun State. The event is steadily gaining attention as one of the region’s most transformative sports projects.
Themed “Running for Exposure,” the marathon aims to uncover emerging athletic talent while promoting health, unity, and community growth. Organised by the MASA Foundation under the leadership of Dr. Muideen Adegboyega Salami (MASA), the race will host over 2,500 runners, with prizes totalling nearly N10m. Winners in both male and female categories will take home N1.5m each.
