Keep fit clubs from Tema and its environs will start from the Trade Fair, La, while those in the Pokuase area will start from Caprice and Kpehe. Those in Kaneshie will start from First Light, with those from Madina and surrounding areas, from the El-Wak Stadium.

According to the National Organiser, Mr Kofi Amuzu, the exercise will take place in all the ten regions, and participants are expected to respect the code of conduct of the exercise, which includes the avoidance slogans of the various parties and wearing of party colours among others.
