Kesho April 19, 2014 wilayani Karatu mamia ya wanariadha watashiriki mashindano yenye kubeba jina maarufu sana Africa na ulimwenguni kote, jina ambalo linatokana na ‘Ngorongoro Crater’ Sisi waandaaji wa Sokoine Mini Marathon tutajifunza mengi kutoka kwa wenzetu wa Ngorongoro Half Marathon kwani wao ni wakongwe katika maandalizi ya mbio kubwa hapa nchini. Pia tunawapongeza wanariadha waliojitoa kushiriki mbio mbili ndani ya wiki moja, bila shaka ni kwa ajili ya uzalendo wao na mapenzi yao kwa mchezo wa riadha. Tunaamini kwamba hivi sasa Tanzania ipo katika ‘mpito’ wa kutafuta namna bora ya kurudisha heshima katika riadha; Heshima iliyoletwa hapo zamani na akina John Steven Akhwari, Filbert Bayi, Gidamis Shahanga, Juma Ikangaa, Mwinga Mwanjala, Suleimana Nyambui nk. ‘Tunawatakia Ijumaa Kuu njema, mashindanomema na hatimaye Pasaka njema’

Ilikuwa siku ngumu yenye changamoto nyingi iliyosababishwa na hali ya mvua, lakini ilikuwa ‘Mission Accomplished’ Asante mheshimiwa rais na Spika wa bunge kwa kuja kutuunga mkono. Kwa kumbukumbu zangu sijawahi kuona msafara mkubwa wa kitaifa ulioongozana na msafara wa rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania. Ilikuwa fursa nzuri ya kuwaona watawala wa nchi hii inayoelekea kuadhimisha NUSU KARNE ya muungano wake uliojaa historia ya pekee na amani.   Msafara huo uliwajumuisha watu maarufu ambao ni pamoja na rais mstaafu Benjamin Mkapa, mawaziri wakuu wastaafu Salim Ahmed Salim na Edward Lowassa, Mama Maria Nyerere, Spika wa Bunge Anna Makinda, waziri wa Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo Dr. Fenela Mukangara na wabunge wengi sana.  Wanariadha wote walifurahi sana kupata nafasi hiyo adimu ya kuwaona watawala wetu wakiweka shada za maua katika kaburi la shujaa Sokoine. Ninapenda kuomba radhi kwa mapungufu ambayo yaliweza kujitokeza, na h

AFTER running for two consecutive years, the annual Sokoine Marathon will now be registered to become one of the international races and be included in the world marathon timetables . Race coordinator Wilhelm Gidabuday said until now the Sokoine Marathon was being supported by the family of the late Prime Minister, Edward Moringe Sokoine, through his daughter, Namelok, but once the event goes international, it will be able to generate its own running costs. "We don't want the family to keep funding the race but rather the event should now be supporting the Sokoine Foundation," stated Gidabuday, who hails from Hanang'. The 2014 Sokoine Marathon which went in-sync with the 30th Anniversary of the late premier's death in Monduli, raced for 10 kilometres. Fabian Joseph, the 2005 World Half Marathon Champion (held in Edmonton, Canada), won the event and was awarded 500,000/- and a trophy by President Jakaya Kikwete. Big names dominated the So
