CETPower has been announced as a major partner of EKO170 2027 as organisers intensify preparations for the second edition of the Lagos cycling event scheduled for Sunday, January 10, 2027.
The event, organised by Dynastar Sports and Education Foundation, will bring together cyclists from Nigeria and beyond for an endurance challenge designed to promote cycling, fitness and community participation.
The 2027 edition will feature two categories: a 170-kilometre Gran Fondo and a non-competitive 94.5-kilometre Medio Fondo. Both categories will start and finish at Eko Atlantic City in Lagos, with the proposed route extending through Victoria Island and the Lekki corridor towards Epe before returning to the finish point.
CETPower's partnership is expected to support different aspects of the event, including planning, coordination and arrangements for participants and spectators. Its involvement represents another development in the build-up to the January race, following the successful inaugural edition held in 2026.
The 170km Gran Fondo will provide a competitive endurance test for experienced cyclists and riders seeking a demanding challenge. The 94.5km Medio Fondo, meanwhile, will offer a shorter alternative for recreational and fitness riders without podium competition.
The two categories are designed to accommodate different levels of cycling experience while allowing participants to share the atmosphere and finish-line celebrations.
Organisers have also encouraged cycling clubs and individual riders from across Nigeria and beyond to register. Spectators are expected to support participants along the route and contribute to the event's atmosphere.
According to information published on the official EKO170 website, the 2027 event will also feature closed roads, with further details on race arrangements and participation available through the organisers' registration platform.
The return of EKO170 is expected to strengthen Lagos' growing cycling culture while providing another platform for sports tourism, community participation and endurance sport development.
