Route Description

EKO 170 Route

From Start to Finish

The route starts on Eko Atlantic Boulevard beneath the towers of the new city. Riders head out through Victoria Island on Ahmadu Bello Way, cross the Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge — the day's signature climb — and settle into the long, fast run along the Lekki–Epe Expressway.

Past the Lekki Free Trade Zone and the Dangote Refinery corridor, the course opens into the green countryside of Epe before the turn for home. The return leg rides the coast the whole way back — the Atlantic on your left, the skyline ahead — to the finish chute on the marina. Cut-off: 8 hours.
