The men's team, comprising Ibrahim Fuseini, Isaac Botsio, Edwin Gadayi, and Abdul Rasheed Saminu, secured the gold medal by crossing the finish line ahead of Nigeria.
The quartet raced to the finish line at 38.63s, while close contenders Nigeria ended the race at a time of 38.84s.

On the women's side, the team led by Hor Halutie, with Mary Boakye, Deborah Acheampong, and Anita Afrifa, claimed the silver medal, finishing just behind Nigeria.
Team Ghana finished the race at a time of 43.62s, while Nigeria won the competition with a time of 43.01s.
