The organisers of the 5th Cycling Lagos have officially opened the online registration portal for cyclists wishing to participate in this year’s event, which grand finale holds on September 12, 2026, starting from the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.

Announcing the commencement of online registration in Lagos, the Convener of Cycling Lagos and Managing Director, BrandEscort Communications, Bamidele Adeleye, encouraged cyclists from across the country 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 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.

He said that the Fifth 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.

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,” he said.
