I was up early this morning to take the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) from Baracks in Surulere to my farm around Ikorodu area of Lagos State. Unknown to me, Ikorodu road has been blocked for the Lagos City Marathon that is taking place today.
The event has been certified as a Bronze label marathon by AIMS, with its routes officially measured for the occasion and with a goal to achieve the Gold label within the next two editions in 2019 and 2020.
About 100,000 participants (both elite, indigent and non-elite) are expected for the 2018 edition as against the 50,000 participants in 2017.
The prize money this year for indigent winners has been increased to 3 million naira across all categories of participants.
Dedicated routes for 2018 Lagos City Marathon
From National Stadium >>> Barracks >>> Ojuelegba >>> Dorman Long Bridge >>> Fadeyi (on the main carriage way) >>> Obanikoro >>> Anthony >>> Gbagada >>> 3rd Mainland Bridge >>> Adeniji Adele (3rd Mainland Bridge) >>>Dolphin >>> Osborne Road >>> Alfred Rewane Road >>> Falomo Roundabout >>> Bourdillion Road (Ikoyi) >>> Cable Bridge >>> Admiralty Way >>> Lekki 1st Roundabout >>> Admiralty Toll Plaza >>> Ozumba Mbadiwe Road >>> Akin Adesola Street >>> Bishop Oluwole Street >>> Eko Atlantic City.
Western Avenue Road Ojuelegba, Surulere.
Right now there are no commercial vehicles to convey passengers to most parts of the state.
Commuters are all on the road trying to find their way to their various destinations while I had to go back home and get other things done.
To all the athletes, I say may the best man/woman win.
