Lagos State Sports Commission director-general, Lekan Fatodu, described the event as a brilliant initiative aimed at promoting a healthy and active lifestyle among residents.

“The Lagos State Sports Commission is ready to welcome any initiative that helps our community to be more productive and more active to impact our socio-economic endeavour,” Fatodu stated.
The race ace convener Dapo Ajayi emphasized that the event is fundamentally about fitness and inspiring the youth.
