The Access Bank Lagos City Marathon has announced that today marks the last opportunity for participants to collect their medals, due to recent distribution issues caused by a large crowd surge at the event. Organisers released a notice urging runners who have yet to receive their medals to visit any of the designated collection centres across Lagos before the end of the day. This collection exercise is important for participants who successfully completed the race and are eager to obtain their medals as a symbol of their accomplishment.

In the announcement, the marathon organisers emphasized that this is the final chance for runners to claim their well-deserved medals, which serve not only as a reward for their efforts but also as a memento of a challenging and historic marathon event. The officials encouraged all participants to come forward and collect their medals as the collection process will be officially closed after today, underlining the significance of the event in promoting athletics and community spirit in Lagos.

Additionally, the organisers expressed gratitude to all the participants for their involvement in the marathon, highlighting the event's success despite the earlier complications. The Lagos City Marathon has become a prominent event in Nigeria's sporting calendar, drawing significant participation and attention, and the organisers look forward to improving future editions based on feedback and experiences gathered from this year's marathon.
