The PremiumTrust Bank Abuja City International Half Marathon is Nigeria's capital city's premier long-distance race. The maiden edition was held on 20 April 2024, making it the first World Athletics-supervised half marathon in Abuja — bringing international road racing standards to the heart of Nigeria.

With 50,000+ participants in its debut year, the Abuja City Marathon established itself immediately as a major event on the national sporting calendar. NSML serves as Project Consultant, managing sponsorship, brand, and event delivery.

Long-term sponsorship commitments from PremiumTrust Bank (title sponsor), Dana Airlines, Seven Up, Aquafina, and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria underpin the event's growth as it heads into its next edition in November 2026.
