Why we walk

Jos has been divided by crisis.
The road belongs to all of us.

For decades, our city's story has too often been told through its crises. The Jos Unity Marathon tells a different one: thousands of neighbours — Christian and Muslim, indigene and settler, young and old — walking the same route, at the same time, toward the same finish line.

Set 1,200 metres up on the cool Plateau, among the hills and ancient rocks that make Jos unlike anywhere else in Nigeria, this is a day for the city to move together. Not a protest, not a politics — a walk. Because peace is built one shared step at a time.

FINISH

Land of rocks & resilience

Balanced for centuries.
Just like us.

On the road south of Jos, the great rocks of Riyom have balanced on each other for longer than anyone can remember — different stones, impossible angles, holding each other up.

They're our reminder of what the Plateau already knows: things that lean on each other don't fall. That's the spirit we carry down every kilometre of this walk.

Questions

Good to know

Who can take part?

Everyone. The Jos Unity Marathon is a walk, not a race — families, elders, first-timers and serious walkers are all welcome. Children under 12 walk free with a ticketed adult.

How do I pay for my ticket?

By simple bank transfer. At checkout we generate a one-time account number just for your order — transfer the exact amount from any Nigerian bank app and your ticket is confirmed automatically.

Is the route safe?

Yes. The route is planned with Plateau State security agencies and traffic authorities, with marshals, medics, water points and ambulance cover along all 10 km.

What do I get on the day?

Your race bib, a finisher's medal, refreshments on the route, and access to the finish festival — music, food village and community celebrations.

What happens to the money?

Ticket proceeds fund the event and its community projects: renovating a public primary school, donating sports kit to youth centres, and sponsoring ten students for a full academic session. We publish the impact report openly.
