As the countdown to the seventh edition of the Lagos Women Run continues, organisers have announced a massive increase in the cash prizes for the participants.
Coordinator for Lagos Women Run, Tayo Popoola, the seventh Lagos Women Run will hold November 12, 2022, adding that more winners, compared to previous editions, will be rewarded with varying cash prizes.
Popoola explained that while only the top three finishers received cash prizes in time past, this year’s marathon, which is a landmark edition, has been expanded to reward the top 10 finishers in both the open and veteran categories.
“We have mapped out a strategy to ensure we reward more runners. So, instead of focusing on just the top three finishers, we will be giving various cash prizes to the first 10 finishers,” she said.
Popoola added that the increased prize money is one of the numerous innovations that would make the 2022 Lagos Women Run an unforgettable edition, being the seventh anniversary of the yearly fiesta.
“Every year, we always work hard to get better and that is our goal again this year. We have a couple of other innovations that will be shared in the days ahead, as we countdown to this year’s race,” she stated.
