Walking the Lagos Marathon | Nigeria

Join me as I walk the 2024 Access Bank Marathon in Lagos, Nigeria. The largest city in Africa with a population of over 25 million.

Despite the heat, pollution, Saharan dust and being late for the start, I managed to cross the line, albeit with a bit of enforced cheating. The people, the place; Lagos is somewhere which captures the imagination.

My first video, I hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it.
