The first weekend in February 2016 witnessed the maiden edition of the Lagos city marathon and in turn the first of its kind in Nigeria.
Athletes from around Africa came down to Lagos to take part in the event that boasted of cash prizes worth 92 million Naira.
To ensure success of the marathon, the Lagos state government closed the roads that were to be covered by the runners.
And as usual, the flow of traffic was on lock down.
The runners were of diverse ages…
This 68 year old Nigerian woman took part and also completed the race just because she wanted to exercise and have some fun while at it.
