The routes for next week's 10km road race in Abeokuta have been confirmed by the organizers.

The 2023 Lotus Bank Abeokuta 10km Road Race, the brainchild of Nilayo Sports Management, confirmed the routes for the race in the company of sponsors and other stakeholders ahead of the event, scheduled to be held on September 9.

The inspection team met at MKO Abiola Stadium in Kuto before proceeding to Oloke Junction (Iyana Oloke), which connects the Government Residential Area in Ibara to numerous other suburbs.

Oloke Junction is famous among Moshood Abiola Polytechnic students since it is the nearest landmark to the citadel of learning and other populous regions. It serves as the starting point for the race on September 9.

The race's first water stop, according to the organizers, will be at Oluwo Junction, another varied intersection, from which runners would travel to the 2.5Kilomtres mark, opposite the popular Domino's Pizza building.

Kilometre three is the usually crowded Omida Market, where residents, market men and women, and other race fans will cheer on the runners.

The runners will then make their way to the iconic and colorful Sapon Flyover, Itoko, Adatan roundabout, and the finish line at the palace of the Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo.

According to the Project Manager of Nilayo Sports Management, Seyi Johnson, mechanisms have been put in place to ensure a seamless road race.

He said that the race is part of the schedule for the Alake and supreme monarch of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, who recently offered the event royal blessings when organizers paid a visit to his castle.

“The Ogun State government has provided the enabling environment and is also playing a pivotal role so we are very good to go.
