The Lagos State Government has announced a comprehensive traffic diversion plan ahead of the 10th edition of the Lagos Women Run, scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 8, 2025, beginning at 6:00 a.m.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Thursday, the government said the temporary traffic arrangement is designed to ensure the safety of participants and minimize inconvenience to motorists and commuters.
The 10-kilometre annual race, organised by the Lagos State Sports Commission, LSSC, in collaboration with event partners, will kick off at Tafawa Balewa Square and end at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.
During the race, there will be partial road closures along the following corridors, Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, Water Board, Old NITEL, Outer Marina, Officers Mess, Bonny Camp Bridge, State House, Ahmadu Bello Way, Akin Adesola Street, Falomo Bridge, Falomo Roundabout, Awolowo Road, Onikan Roundabout, Mobolaji Johnson Arena.
Osiyemi noted that officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, Nigeria Police Force, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, and the Lagos State Neighbourhood Corps, LSNC, would be stationed along these routes to manage traffic, guide motorists, and ensure public safety throughout the event.
”To ease movement during the race, motorists are advised to use the following alternative routes: Motorists from Ozumba Mbadiwe heading to the Third Mainland Bridge should divert through Bonny Camp to Onikan Underpass, then connect Marina Exit to Force Road, linking Outer Marina before merging onto the Third Mainland Bridge.
“Drivers from Apongbon heading to Ikoyi should use Odunlami Street to connect Igbosere Road, proceed through Moloney Street, and continue onto Ikoyi Road.”
The Lagos State Government further appealed to motorists and commuters to exercise patience, follow traffic instructions, and obey traffic officials during the temporary closures.
“The road closures are only temporary and will be reopened gradually as the race progresses,” Osiyemi assured.
He added that the Lagos Women Run continues to serve as a platform to promote fitness, gender equality, and social inclusion among women in Lagos and beyond.
