The 2025 edition of the Lagos Women run is now in full swing as the Lagos State Government has set out machinery in motion for the annual event billed to take place on November 8.
All those involved in the 10km event have been holding meetings at the instance of the state government in an attempt to stage a better race this year.
The Director General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu, has directed all the various committees working on the event to speed up work and make this edition a step up to the last one.
Fatodu was fully involved last year and he has been a strong pillar behind the organizing team for the 2025 edition.
Lagos Women run an initiative of Gym Assured, Marathon & Road Race Organization, in collaboration with the Lagos State Government and a dedicated group of women with professional backgrounds in sports management, administration, and other women- focused organizations.
Since its inception in 2016 in Lagos, the event has grown and is expected to expand to other parts of the nation.
Coordinator of the big project, Tayo Popoola, told newsmen at the weekend that all was set for the event.
“The Lagos Women Run is much more than just the race. We have many other activities on the cards to enlighten and generally educate the women more.
“Lagos State Sports Commission DG, (Fatodu) has been of tremendous assistance and we have started registration and making advanced plans over other activities.” Popoola said.
The participants are expected to receive running Vests, running bibs, goody bag, certificate, medals, and sponsors’ products.
