13 Days to Go: World Athletics Leads International Contingent to Nigeria Ahead of Access Bank Lagos City Marathon

Posted : 02 February 2026

The global spotlight is on Lagos as World Athletics leads an international contingent to Nigeria ahead of the 11th edition of Africa’s biggest road race, the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.

The world governing body for athletics is set to play a key role at the event, reaffirming the marathon’s status as a World Athletics Gold Label race. Lagos has long been familiar ground for World Athletics, having supported the marathon over the years through technical oversight, course certification, and global collaboration.

As race day approaches, athletes from across Africa and beyond, alongside international press, pundits, and athletics stakeholders, are preparing to converge on Lagos for what promises to be one of the most competitive and vibrant editions yet.

The 11th edition will feature a blend of elite competition, mass participation, and global attention. From seasoned distance-running powerhouses to ambitious newcomers, the field is expected to deliver speed, drama, and memorable moments on the streets of Nigeria’s commercial capital.

Scheduled for Saturday, February 14, 2026, the marathon will continue a journey synonymous with excellence, endurance, and African pride. This edition introduces a brand-new 42-kilometre race route, starting at ORCA Mall, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, running along sections of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road, and culminating with a grand finish at the iconic Eko Atlantic City.
