The 25-year-old national cyclist completed the 109-kilometre course in a time of 3 hours, 16 minutes and 51 seconds to win the race organised by the Velocity Cycling Club.
He was trailed by Michael Agbugblah (3 hours, 16 minutes and 52 seconds) who finished second and Solomon Tagoe who placed third with a time of 3 hours, 16 minutes and 58 seconds.
For his efforts Sackey received a trophy and an amount of GH¢800, together with products from headline sponsors, Cowbell Ghana Limited.
Agbugblah and Tagoe received GH¢600 and GH¢500 respectively, as well as medals and Cowbell products.
The race, which was the fourth in a series by Velocity club, started at Adenta, and went through Dodowa, Somanya, Adukrom and Larteh but they returned via Ayikumah through Dodowa to Adenta.
Sackey, for the vast majority of the race, was streets ahead of his competitors, thus winning him the King of the Mountain title for being the first to cross the hills at the Adukrom and Larteh points.
The Brands Manager of Cowbell, Joseph Ashong, commended the athletes for their efforts, and gave an assurance for a national cycling championship competition to be organised by Cowbell in Kumasi next month.
