Bringing that positive vibe
The hype around the 2019 Cycle Classic has begun, as participants and fans gear up for one of the most prominent events on Namibia's sporting calendar.
Arrangements for the 2019 edition of Cycle Classic are well underway, organisers say.
The cycling event is slated for the weekend of 12 and 13 October in Windhoek.
This year's edition comprises of three cycling races and two running events.
Held annually since 1999, the Cycle Classic is a community service and fundraising project of Rotary Club Windhoek and over the past 20 years many institutions, organisations and needy causes across Namibia have benefitted from the funds generated.
The event will kick off on Saturday with a mountain bike (MTB) race in three distance categories, followed by a 10km competitive timed run and a 5km fun run and walk. Later in the day, those aged 12 and under will be allowed to show their mettle in the Kiddies Classic.
“Even toddlers are welcome to participate. To promote cycling as a fun family sport to be enjoyed from an early age, great emphasis is again being placed on promoting the Kiddies Classic,” organisers said.
The Cycle Classic's drawcard and star event this year is the road bike (RB) race in three distance categories on Sunday, 13 October.
Competitive cyclists and even those who cycle for fun are eligible to enter the MTB and RB races.
Cyclists with a physical disability are encouraged to participate and the same applies to the run and walk components of the Cycle Classic.
The organising team for this year's event comprises of Rotary Club members, volunteers from Windhoek Pedal Power and the Quinton Steel-Botes Khomas Hochland Athletics Club.
The Kiddies Classic is organised by T-Rex Tribe, who are already hard at work to make the 20th edition even bigger than last year's event.
