Organisers of Cycling Kano, described as the biggest cycling event in Northern Nigeria, have opened online registration for cyclists ahead of the event’s second edition on Saturday, December 12, 2026. The ride will begin at the Emir’s Palace in Kano.
The announcement was made on Wednesday, November 11, following a stakeholders’ meeting in Kano on Monday.
Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, said he was excited about the event, noting that it aligns with the agenda of the state governor, His Excellency Engr Abba Yusuf, to create opportunities for young talents in the state.
Bamidele Adeleye, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cycling Africa, said the second edition, themed “Water is Life,” is expected to attract political leaders, business executives, cycling enthusiasts and leading brands from across the region to celebrate a healthy lifestyle.
“The ‘Water is Life’ edition will reflect the growing importance of water conservation, access to clean water, environmental sustainability, and responsible management of natural resources, particularly in Northern Nigeria,” Adeleye said.
“The theme will provide an opportunity to use the cycling platform to create public awareness around water conservation, environmental protection, healthy living, and community responsibility,” he explained.
Online registration opened on Wednesday, November 11, and will close on Wednesday, December 9, 2026. Adeleye said registration would help organisers prepare for the event’s key stakeholders.
