The organizers of the 5th Cycling Lagos have officially opened the online registration portal for cyclists wishing to participate in this year's highly anticipated event, with the grand finale scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, starting from the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Announcing the commencement of online registration in Lagos, Convener of
Cycling Lagos and Managing Director, BrandEscort Communications, Bamidele
Adeleye, encouraged cyclists from across Nigeria and beyond to register early
through the official registration portal to secure their place in what promises
to be one of Africa's biggest cycling events.
Adeleye urged interested participants to scan the QR code on the event
flyer or visit www.cyclinglagos.com to
complete their registration, noting that the registration portal opened on July
1, 2026, and will close on August 26, 2026.
"The registration process has been designed to make participation
seamless, enabling riders to register conveniently from anywhere while ensuring
efficient planning, accreditation, and event logistics," he said.
According to him, the 5th Cycling Lagos will feature several race
categories, including professional cyclists, amateur riders, children,
celebrities, and recreational cyclists, creating an exciting atmosphere that
promotes fitness, environmental sustainability, road safety, and sports
tourism.
Speaking on this year's theme, 'Trash to Treasure,' Adeleye said the
2026 edition will inspire conversations around turning waste into value,
problems into possibilities, and discarded materials into opportunities.
"The theme also reflects the Cycling Lagos story—an event that
began with modest public interest in 2018 but has grown into a movement that
continues to inspire similar cycling initiatives across Nigeria and Africa.
"Today, Cycling Lagos has become a reference point for cycling
events, demonstrating how one powerful idea can transform communities, inspire
healthier lifestyles, and encourage environmental consciousness.
"When we started this event in 2018, there were very few major
cycling events in Nigeria, and cycling culture was relatively low. Through
consistent advocacy over the years, the story has changed significantly. More
people are embracing cycling, and more events are springing up across the
country," he said.
Adeleye added that the success of Cycling Lagos paved the way for the
successful hosting of Cycling Kano in partnership with the Kano State
Government in 2025, making it the first major cycling event of its kind in
Northern Nigeria.
He noted that Cycling Lagos has continued to grow in popularity over the
past four editions, attracting thousands of participants and spectators while
strengthening Lagos' position as one of Africa's leading destinations for
sports tourism.
He called on corporate organizations, government agencies, development
partners, cycling enthusiasts, and members of the public to support and
participate in this landmark event, which seeks to promote healthy living,
environmental sustainability, youth development, and active mobility through
cycling.
The annual Cycling Lagos is organized by BrandEscort Communications in
partnership with the Lagos State Cycling Association, with support from
stakeholders within and outside Nigeria.
