Sarah Etonge

Sarah Liengu Etonge (born in Buea, Southwest Province, Cameroon) is a current African mountain running star. She has won the annual Mount Cameroon Race of Hope five times in her native Buea, in the Southwest Province. Her most recent victory came in 2005, with a time of 5:38:06.[1] On March 12, 2005, Etonge was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in mountaineering by the President of a Buea-based NGO, Professor Emeritus Dr. Lydia Luma of the Cameroon Education Corporation. In 2006, the city of Buea revealed a statue in her honor. It was only the second municipal statue constructed in Buea ever, and the first since that for Otto von Bismarck.
