The accreditation process for media practitioners interested in covering the 2020 Access Bank Lagos City Marathon has officially commenced.
Head of Communications and Media for the marathon, Olukayode Thomas in a statement at the weekend explained that there would be two categories of accreditation that would be given to interested journalists based on merit.
Thomas explained that journalists will be required to send in their passport photographs and biodata to [email protected]
“Yes, the process of accreditation is officially on and it will run for the next three weeks,” Thomas stated.
“Journalists are expected to send in their passport photographs and biodata to the email address provided or bring the same to the Marathon Village situated inside the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos” he added.
“One critical area the World Athletics will be looking at is how clean our finish area is, that is why we have provided a press centre for journalists, they are not expected to be at the finish line at all or the recovery areas”
“The media guide will provide all with the do’s and don’ts so we are all on the same page, we do not want to revoke the accreditation of anyone but that may be the case once individuals fail to adhere to the laid down rules.” Thomas stated.
The window to apply for accreditation will close on January 24 while the 2020 Access Bank Lagos City Marathon will hold on February 8.
