The story

Cross sous l'Equateur Lambarene in Lambarene

Lambarene's first Cross sous l'Equateur road race drew close to two thousand runners across separate age-category distances, up to nine kilometers for seniors and veterans, organized jointly by the company Morel and Prom with Gabon's Ministry of Sports, the national athletics federation, and the town's city hall, a rare competitive-sport moment for a town usually associated with Albert Schweitzer's Ogooue River hospital.

Nearly two thousand runners lined up in Lambarene for the first edition of the Cross sous l'Equateur, a road race staged on the Ogooue River town's streets and organized jointly by the agro-industrial company Morel and Prom alongside Gabon's Ministry of Sports, the Gabonese Athletics Federation, and Lambarene's city hall.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As a first edition, the race's scale is its most notable feature: close to two thousand participants split across multiple age-category distances, from short cadet courses to a nine-kilometer race for seniors and veterans, run through the streets of a town whose international reputation rests on Albert Schweitzer's hospital rather than sport

02

The mystery stays covered

Its organizing structure, a private agro-industrial sponsor partnering directly with the national athletics federation, the sports ministry, and municipal government, is also distinctive for a Gabonese provincial sporting event of this size
