Home Sports Digicel Cancer Awareness Cycle Race on this Sunday
Digicel Guyana’s 7th annual Cancer Awareness Cycle Race is set for this Sunday, with 5 categories of races and cash and prizes up for grabs.
The race is scheduled to begin promptly at 8am on Sunday, October 21st. Starting point is the JB Singh Road running parallel to Vlissengen Road.
Spectators will witness the country’s top seniors, juniors, mountain bikers and veterans over-45 and under-45 compete for the spoils that are up for grabs. In addition, there will be an inaugural children’s race.
The event, which has grown to become one of cycling’s feature meets, is organised by the Evolution Cycling Club, with telecom giants Digicel on board to assist in donating to the Cancer Institute of Guyana. All proceeds will be donated to the Cancer Institute of Guyana.
There will be a registration fee of Gy$2000 for participation in this event, and the total registration fees garnered will be matched in value and donated to the Cancer Institute. Part of all proceeds from smartphone sales for the month of October would also be donated to the Cancer Institute.
In the previous year, Williams and Dey won the senior and junior categories respectively.
In addition to Digicel Guyana, Banks DIH Limited, through its Rainforest Water Brand, is onboard as a partner to support Cancer Awareness Month.
The stakeholders are urging members of the public to come out and witness the country’s riders as they compete for a good cause.
