The MoC Grand Prix is already one of the most important fixtures on the Athletics calendar in Nigeria. It is the largest Annual Competition in Nigeria aside the National Trials – 400 Athletes contested 22 Individual & 5 Relay Events at the 1st MoC Grand Prix in 2018, while 500 contested 28 Individual Events at the 2nd Edition in 2019!

The 3rd edition of the Making of Champions (MoC) Grand Prix has seen nearly 1000 athletes registered for the event which is slated to hold on March 30th and 31st at the Yaba College of Technology in Lagos State, surpassing the entries in the first two editions (400 in 2018 and 500 in 2019) by over 100 percent!

The events would feature 28 Individual & 5 Relay Events in Senior and possibly U20/U18 Categories as well as Nigeria’s first ever Olympic qualification attempt for the Mixed 4x400m (with 2 men & 2 women per team), which will be appearing at the Olympics for the 1st time ever in Tokyo!

For the first time in the history of MoC Grand Prix, there will be an international flavour to the competition, as nine countries in Africa have all confirmed their participation for the two-day event in Lagos including Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Togo and Cameroon. This spread of countries confirmed for the competition, underlines the far-reaching acceptability that the Grand Prix has now attained since its first edition was staged in 2018 at the Sports complex of Yaba College of Technology.
