Run clubs, ambassadors, volunteers, and the runners who make CCR what it is.
Real experiences from the people who train, run, volunteer and move with Capital City Race.
“I ran the Capital City Race in 2024. Omo, it was a great experience. I registered alongside my sister and cousins. The finisher medal was so fine. I still have it hung in my room. My sister also won goodies at the finish point.”
Rebecca Bassey
“I enjoy going for walks. My home girls and I walk round my estate every Saturday. When the CCR started in 2024, it was only natural for us to register. Moreso because it’s in Ikeja. I’ve now run both editions and I look forward to doing it again come November.”
Nike Oyetubo
“I missed the first edition in 2024 but I got to participate last year. It stretched me and I can’t wait for race registration to open for 2026. We go gather dey.”
