Lagos witnessed local
and international athletes unite today, February 6, 2016 for the Lagos City
Marathon, hosted by the state government.
Abraham Kipton who’s from Kenya emerged
as the winner, running 2hrs 16mins, 21seconds.
The winner, Abraham
Kator of Kenya crossed the finish line @ 2hrs 16mins & 21secs
Kenya’s Hossei and Ethiopia’s Debebe Ethosa came in second and
third respectively, while Emmanuel Gyang, the first Nigerian
to cross the finish line came in 7th place.
The 20,000
participants started the race from the National Stadium in Surulere, BUT not
all partakers could make it up to the finish line – Eko Atlantic City in
Victoria Island – as majority backed out before the 3rd mainland bridge. LOL!
See if there’s an athlete stuck in
front of your house!
