Running in Lagos: A Seasonal Guide

Lagos's tropical savanna climate shapes the running experience across all four seasons. Warm summers and the transition seasons define the running calendar. Humidity can be the hidden factor that makes or breaks a run here.

Peak season (November and December): Mild temperatures and lower humidity create conditions most runners dream about. You can comfortably run at almost any time of day.

Off-season strategy: In summer, morning runs before 8 AM avoid the worst heat. In winter, midday runs let you catch the warmest hours.

Local runners know that rainy season (april-october) brings heavy downpours. Also worth noting: lekki conservation centre offers trails.
