Entertaining, Colourful Marathon

Acolourful, communitybased, non-competitive wellness activity to create cohesive community-based networking opportunities kicks off on June 27 with the first edition of its 5.3 km marathon called the Lagos Colour Splash.

This event creates an outdoor fun atmosphere welcoming various industry professionals in Lagos and visitors; including children and students to a massive networking event through a wellness carnival.

The carnival is the brain-child of 42nd Generation Entertainment Limited (publishers of In the City, Lagos) in conjunction with the Lagos State Government and Virtual Xchange. These efforts are geared sponsoring broad spectrum activities inclusive of wellness business and citizens geared towards nurturing community spirit that has mutual benefits. The Lagos Colour Splash is a first step to fostering this partnership. Lagos Colour Splash is positioned to become an annual event.

This 5.3km course begins at the Bar Beach, through Akin Adesola Street, Adeola Odeku Ahmadu Bello Way and back to the Beach. Participants willing to make a personal best can elect to go round the course as many times as possible.

Participation at the event is free and those who are taking part have the option to run, walk, bike, jog, stroll or crawl. The road/colour stations event starts promptly at 8am and ends at 1pm, and the entertainment and networking opportunities begin at 1pm to 4pm.
