The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic advisory and diversion plan ahead of the 2025 Capital City Race scheduled for Saturday, November 22, 2025. The 10km race will take place between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
Organised by the Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) in partnership with the Capital City Race Organisers, the event will start at the Ikeja Shopping Mall and proceed through Billings Way, Kudirat Abiola Way, the Opebi Link Bridge, Adeniyi Jones, Oba Akran (LASUTH), before finishing at the Archbishop Vining Memorial Church, Oba Akinjobi Way, Ikeja.
To ensure a smooth exercise, several roads, junctions and intersections along the race route will experience partial closures. These sections will, however, be reopened intermittently as the runners progress.
Security and traffic management will be jointly handled by officers of the Nigerian Police, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), who will be deployed to guide motorists and ensure the safety of participants and residents.
ADVISORY:
Motorists are urged to exercise patience and obey traffic officials, as the temporary diversion is necessary to effectively manage movement during the Capital City Race.
