Spiro, Africa's leading electric mobility provider, announced its commitment as a Major Partner for the upcoming 8th International Douala Marathon. This prestigious event, scheduled for November 29-30, 2025, is set to draw over 3,000 runners from across Cameroon and the globe, making it a critical fixture on the nation's sporting calendar.
This year’s marathon, centered on the theme "The Marathon at the Heart of Communities," aligns perfectly with Spiro’s core values: promoting social connection, fostering public health, and leading the transition to sustainable energy.
Electric Innovation Meets Athletic Endurance
The partnership goes beyond mere sponsorship. Spiro will be integrating a vision of a clean energy future directly into the event. Attendees, officials, and racers at the Marathon Village will have the chance to explore and test the state-of-the-art electric motorcycles.
This showcase serves as a live demonstration of how sustainable mobility can be both practical and affordable, encouraging public discourse on reducing $ ext{CO}_2$ emissions and accelerating the energy transition. The franchise aims to show that high-level athletic performance, quality of life, and environmental stewardship are mutually achievable goals.
A Local Vision for a Global Impact

"Sponsoring the Douala Marathon symbolizes our belief in the transformative energy of sport. It’s a powerful engine for bringing people together and advocating for healthier choices. This platform allows us to celebrate human endurance while visibly championing innovation and durability, illustrating our dedication to a cleaner environment for Cameroon."
By showcasing the reliable, locally manufactured e-vehicles, which are supported by Africa's most extensive battery swap network, Spiro is affirming its role in helping Cameroon adopt cleaner transportation alternatives.
