Lakeside Marina and Happy FM have launched the 7th edition of the annual 6 km Family Fun Run and Walk on Tuesday in a brief ceremony at the Silver Star Tower.
The event is aimed at bringing together families, individuals and schools to promote healthy lifestyle and celebrate Ghana’s 60th Independence Day through physical exercises.
This year’s event is set to take place on Monday, 6th March, 2017 at the Lakeside Marina Park, Lakeside Estate.
According to Mr. Naveen Singh, Head of radio of Global Media Alliance Broadcast Company “As we have established over the years, the idea behind the annual 6 km Family Fun Run is to provide a good opportunity for families, individuals and schools to exercise and socialize while engaging in healthy activities”.

Mr. Naveen urged families, individuals and schools to come and participate in their numbers and take advantage of the numerous benefits the event offers.
Commenting on the event, the Director of Lakeside Estate, Mr. Salah Kwaku Kalmoni said “this collaboration with Happy FM over the years has been truly fruitful as the two companies share the same goals in promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.. “He added that this year’s event will receive prizes such as generators, scooter, printers, cameras and accessories and free movie tickets.
