The over one thousand registered participants for the 6th edition of the Lagos Women Run, which holds in the Lagos metropolis on Saturday, November 13, 2021, for the first time in the history of the only women run in Sub-Saharan Africa, will run against the usual traffic, not discarding the historical monument along the route.
This time around, the 2021 Lagos Women Runners will complete in a reverse order from the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere to the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.
The General Coordinator of the event, Tayo Popoola, noted that the essence for the reverse route is to finish the race at the ultra-modern Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.
“With this, after the race flag off at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, it will move towards Alaka inward Eko Bridge and heads towards Apongbon, to CMS and take a switch at the Lagos House before advancing to Muson Centre straight to Tafawa Balewa Square and take a right turn to the Island Club and Zone 2 Police department before finally heading towards the Mobolaji Johnson stadium to the finish line,” She said.
The race will have a retinue of successful women in the Nigerian Society present to support a race that has a theme associated with emancipation of women, violence against women folks and protection of the Girl Child and campaign against Child Slavery.
