He said many others registered for the virtual run.
The race on 13 November will start by 6:30 a.m. from Teslim
Balogun Stadium, Surulere and end at the Tafawa Balewa Square.
The general coordinator said that the virtual event was a
result of the pandemic to ensure that women were not denied the opportunity to
run.
“We are ready for another edition of the Lagos women run and
usually the women are ready.
“It is a year of preparation and for us, we are very ready.
This is the biggest women fitness in Africa we can think of and it has been on
for five years now,” she said.
She noted that the rules of COVID-19 would be strictly
adhered to during the event.
Popoola added that women participating in the run from other
countries would have to undergo the COVID-19 test.
“As much as the pandemic is going, we still need to strictly
adhere to the rules.
“For women coming in from other countries, we will ensure
they go through the normal COVID-19 process to ensure that they are safe.
“They will have to be quarantined for seven days before
participating in the race.
“Women will be put in different cells. Cells mean that you
don’t have many people coming together to run,” she said.
Popoola added that the elite run would involve the physical,
while the virtual run would be for other women all over that had registered.
“The women involved will go through the normal route. The
race will start off at the same time for those running physically and
virtually,” she said.
