Organisers of Cycling Kano, the biggest cycling event in Northern Nigeria, on Wednesday launched online registration for cyclists ahead of the second edition of the event, scheduled for Saturday, December 12, 2026. The ride will kick off from the Emir's Palace in Kano.
Speaking at a stakeholders meeting in Kano on Monday, the Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, said he was excited about the Cycling Kano event, as it is in line with the agenda of the State Governor, His Excellency Engr Abba Yusuf, to create opportunities for young talents in the state.
President/Chief Executive Officer of Cycling Africa, Bamidele Adeleye, said the second edition, themed "Water is Life," will attract top political leaders, business executives, cycling enthusiasts, and leading brands from across the region to celebrate a healthy lifestyle in the state.
"The 'Water is Life' edition will reflect the growing importance of water conservation, access to clean water, environmental sustainability, and responsible management of natural resources, particularly in Northern Nigeria," Adeleye said.
"The theme will provide an opportunity to use the cycling platform to create public awareness around water conservation, environmental protection, healthy living, and community responsibility," he explained.
He said online registration for participants, which opened on Wednesday, November 11, will close on Wednesday, December 9, 2026.
"The online registration is necessary to help the organisers prepare adequately for the key stakeholders coming to the event," he said.
