    First Nigerian to finish the race, Nyango Gyang Boyi, made history by finishing in the top 10 positions.

    Some Nigerian runners who participated in the race, one of them Gyang Boyi finished in 8th place.

    He finished the race in 8th place, clocking a time 2:25:41.58 which will earn him a prize award of $4,000. As the first Nigerian to finish the race, Boyi also won the N2million top prize in the Nigerian category.

    The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was also one of the participants in this year’s Lagos City Marathon.

    The 42km race commenced at Western Avenue, in front of the National Stadium Surulere, and finished in front of Eko Atlantic City, Victoria Island.

    This year’s edition of Access Bank Lagos City Marathon had thousands of runners competing for the top prize.

    The annual event was to a gold label by the World Athletics in 2023 less than eight years after its first edition.
