The Coordinator, Lagos Women Run, Tayo Popoola has stated that the All Women 10km race is being packaged for the women folks for them to connect through their communities, creating empowerment opportunities.

The 10th edition with the theme : “ One Run, a thousand Opportunities”, will come up on the November 8th, 2025, with the start point at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere and end at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Arena, Onikan.

This year’s edition of the Lagos Women Run marks a significant milestone, celebrating the program’s journey, the vibrant city of Lagos, and the incredible women who have been part of it since its inception.

It will focus more on empowering women, acknowledging their dedication, and ensuring the program’s sustainability by providing participants with opportunities they deserve.

Popoola added that the race has achieved remarkable success in making women happy and uncovering talents, serving as a platform for participants to train for bigger road races which fosters a strong sense of community, allowing women of all ages to connect, network, and celebrate themselves.

“The event’s non-discriminatory nature makes it a level playing ground, open to everyone regardless of social status by promoting general well-being among women.

The Lagos Women Run encourages participants to step out of their homes, accomplish personal physical goals, and break free from isolation. It helps women discover themselves, overcome depression, and become better versions of themselves.

Through the Lagos Women Run, women from diverse backgrounds have been empowered to take control of their lives, build confidence, and develop new skills. The event has also served as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation, helping participants to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

“We are proud to be part of this journey, empowering women to take control of their lives and become agents of change in their communities,”

We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Lagos State government and other stakeholders to make a lasting impact on the lives of women in Lagos”.
