Ghana Army Captain Festus Yeboah Asuamah ('17) will embark on a 250-kilometer cycling journey from Accra to Kumasi, dedicating the "Ride for Safety and Fitness 2025" to the memory of Akpene Adzo Ahadzie, a KNUST architecture student tragically lost in a cycling accident.

The ride aims to raise awareness of cyclist safety and promote sustainable transportation in Ghana.

The journey, set for April 5th, 2025, will commence at 3:00 AM from Burma Camp and is expected to last 13-15 hours, including stops for hydration and medical checks. Captain Asuamah's initiative aligns with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 11.2, focusing on safe and accessible transport.

He hopes to spark a nationwide conversation about integrating cycling into urban planning.

Akpene's final-year project, which focused on creating cycling-friendly infrastructure, further inspired Captain Asuamah's ride.

The late student's family has expressed full support for the initiative and will be present at the concluding event at KNUST campus.

The ride will feature medical and security support, and Captain Asuamah is seeking sponsorships to cover logistical costs.
