ACCESS LAGOS CITY MARATHON
Two of the country’s top elite road race runners, Adamu Muazu and Williams Kefas have assured Nigerians that it would no longer be business as usual for the East Africans; especially Kenyans at this year’s Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.
Unlike in the women’s category where a Nigerian has actually broken into the ranks to finish among the top 10, the men have watched helplessly as the Kenyans and Ethiopians cart away the thousands of dollars set as prize money for the fastest runners.
Iliya Pam in 2019 became the closest in breaking into the top 10 but his winning time of 2:32:24 in the Nigeria category was only good for 15th position overall.
