The Access Bank Lagos City Marathon is also the first race to win a World Athletics Bronze Label in Africa after two editions and the first in the world to win the prestigious Silver Label after four editions. 

The Head of Communication and Media for the race, Olukoya Thomas said, “With the return of the 10km fun run, we should be having close to 80,000 to 100,000 participants at the seventh edition of our yearly race”.
