The Lagos State Government has released a traffic diversion schedule in preparation for the 2025 Capital City Race, which is set to take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
In a statement posted on X on Friday by the Director of Public Affairs, Bolanle Ogunlola, the government explained that the 10km marathon, organised by the Lagos State Sports Commission in collaboration with the Capital City Race Organisers, will kick off at Ikeja Shopping Mall.
Participants will proceed through Billings Way, Kudirat Abiola Way, Opebi Link Bridge, Adeniyi Jones, and Oba Akran, ending the race at Archbishop Vining Memorial Church on Oba Akinjobi Way in Ikeja.
“As a result, several roads, junctions, and intersections along the race route will be partially closed.
These closures will be opened intermittently as the race progresses to ease movement within the axis,” the statement read.
The statement added that officers from the Nigerian Police Force, Federal Road Safety Corps, and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be deployed along the route to manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of participants and motorists.
Motorists have been urged to remain patient and plan their trips accordingly, as the temporary closure is part of the government’s traffic management strategy for the event.
