Lagos leads. Lagos endures.
Lagos rides.
Every kilometre tells a story — of resilience, pride, and progress. From the sleek skyline of Victoria Island to the rural calm of Epe, EKO170 embodies what Lagos stands for: grit, excellence, and motion.
01

Our Vision

Lagos is a city that never stops moving — alive with ambition, rhythm, and the unmistakable pulse of possibility. EKO 170 Lagos Gran Fondo was born to channel that energy onto two wheels.

Our vision is simple but powerful: to position Lagos as Africa's cycling capital — where world-class endurance meets coastal beauty, and where sport becomes a catalyst for unity, health, and economic growth.

02

Our Mission

We exist to promote active living, celebrate Lagos's stunning urban and coastal landscapes, and champion a healthier, more connected society.

Through this annual event, we aim to drive sports tourism, support local enterprise, and highlight Lagos's evolution into a truly global megacity.

EKO 170 is more than a race — it is a cultural statement.
