The Coordinator, Tayo Popoola, said this during a press briefing in Lagos heralding the 2022 edition of the 10-kilometre race.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that this is the 7th edition of the race, holding on Nov. 12.

NAN quoted Popoola as saying that the race has witnessed significant success since inception.

Popoola said that the race had given women across the country a platform to network and improve on their health, while the elite runners have the opportunity to assess their performances.

“The Lagos women’s run is a platform for creativity among women, with a fun atmosphere and an opportunity to celebrate women.

“We have women from various professional backgrounds who are passionate about their jobs, wellbeing and who are ready to celebrate themselves.

“In this year’s edition, we have about 25,000 runners in the categories of the elites and the fun runners,’’ she said.

NAN reports that the winner of the Lagos women’s run will go with N1 million cash prize while others will have other consolation prizes.
