With just two days to the 2026 Access Bank Lagos City Marathon, excitement has reached fever pitch as award-winning music sensation Shoday has been confirmed to perform live at the Post Race Party.
The party is organized to celebrate runners and the event, at Eko Atlantic City, as organizers say Saturday promises not only world-class athletic competition but also a vibrant celebration of music, culture and community.
As thousands of elite and non-elite runners prepare to take on the challenge across Africa’s most iconic city, organisers added an electrifying twist to the Valentine’s Day showdown, a live performance from Shoday to welcome athletes and fans at the finish line.
The Access Bank Lagos City Marathon has grown into one of Africa’s premier road races, attracting international stars, elite Kenyan and Ethiopian runners, and Nigeria’s finest long-distance athletes.
Beyond the race itself, the event continues to boost sports tourism, showcase Lagos to the world, and create an unforgettable festival atmosphere.
This year’s edition is expected to deliver another thrilling contest as runners battle for top honours and significant prize money, while fans enjoy a spectacular post-race celebration headlined by Shoday.
From the starting gun to the final stride at Eko Atlantic City, February 14 promises endurance, entertainment and excellence, all in one unforgettable experience.
Lagos is ready. The runners are ready. The stage is set.
