President John Dramani Mahama will officially signal the start of the final stage of the 10th Tour du Ghana on November 23, 2025, at Ablekuma in the Greater Accra Region.

The 10-day race, which opened on November 13 with a prologue at the Osu Castle, has drawn elite cyclists from Ghana, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Togo and Benin.

Alhaji Shabaan Mohammed, General Secretary of the Ghana Cycling Federation, says this year’s biggest highlight will come on Saturday when the President appears to flag off the concluding stage of the competition.

He explained that the Tour, designed to promote tourism, is being held across parts of the Greater Accra and Volta regions, with Ho hosting key stages where several classification jerseys are up for grabs.

This year’s edition has attracted support from Dot.Ateliers, Prudential Life Insurance, MTN, THP, Asa Plus, Twellium Ghana Ltd., DHL Global, Stanbic Bank and the Chief of Akwamu Kotoi, who have all contributed branded jerseys for the riders.

Mohammed expressed the Federation’s appreciation to the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, the National Sports Authority, the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Ghana Olympic Committee and the Black Star Experience Secretariat for their backing.

He added that the Tour is also helping the Federation assess the country’s top-performing cyclists as preparations begin for major international competitions, including the 2026 Commonwealth Games and the 2028 Olympic Games.

Ghana’s contingent in this year’s race includes the Golden Pedals, the Greater Accra team and the Bahati Cycling Team.
