Aside from the sponsors who ensure that the event comes on, the main actors are the athletes, and the big question is who will be crowned GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human for 2021? – Can we record any athlete to represent Ghana at the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. Ghana has only three track and field athletes who have qualified already for the Olympic Games that’s Joseph Paul, Nadia Eke and Azamati Benjamin.

Some of the sprinters to be watched in the local arena for the Male Seniors are Kwaku Botsio a student of University of Ghana (UG), Sarfo Ansah a student of University of Development Studies (UDS), Edwin Gadayi a student of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Barnabas Aggerh and Aflamah Wallace all of University of Development Studies (UDS). When you come to the Female Seniors are Grace Obour a student of the University of Ghana (UG), Kate Agyemang a student of the University of Development Studies (UDS), Beatrice Boakye and Janet Mensah all of Ashanti Region. The under 18 athletes will also be a great event to be watched. Some of the athletes are Sherif Abdul Razak of Adisadel College and Kwartemaa Benedicta of Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School. The show will revive around these athletes but some of the international athletes had also shown interest and coming this Saturday at the Legon Sports Stadium will be a memorable day in our history of Athletics and for the athletes themselves.
There are a lot of underdogs athletes who can cause mayhem and a surprise during the event.

To spice up the programme, the organisers have added the T54 100m wheelchair race to help our two disabled stars to qualify for the Tokyo Paralympic Games.

The Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Sports Personality of the year Raphael Botsyo Nkegbe and Maclean Atsu Dzidzienyo will race in between the races.
