You know how they always say that we should start every year with a ‘bang!”? Well, 2018 might just get its piece of that. Pru Life UK is about to bring the biggest biking festival to date in January at two different spots in the Philippines. “PRU Ride 2018” is a successor of its victorious predecessor in London in 2016.
The momentous event is expected to gather some of the national team cyclists from the country and across Southeast Asia with two competition legs – January 11 to 14, 2018 at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Zambales, and January 21 at McKinley West, Taguig.
At a media launch held at The Brewery in Uptown Bonifacio, Pru Life UK SVP and Chief Marketing Officer Allan Tumbaga shared his excitement for the upcoming festival.
“More than a gathering of the country’s most passionate cyclists, PRUride PH 2018 continues Pru Life UK’s commitment to promote responsible and safe cycling. We also hope to increase awareness on cycling as an alternative mode of transportation so we can all work towards having a safe and environment-friendly community for the generations to come.”
The life insurer company guarantees that PRUride will be packed with competitive activities and racing segments not just for the delegates but also for the spectators.
Among the activities included are the Professional Individual Time Trial, Amateur Time Trial, and the 100-kilometer Gran Fondo – all to be held in Subic – and a repeat of the 2016 Criterium races in Taguig. They will also have the Brompton Challenge to the country for the very first time.
This year’s prize pool has increased to a total of more than PhP 1 million worth of cash prizes. Php 50,000 is at stake for the top finishers in all Elite professional categories for both men and women.
Wait! There’s more. PRUride will also be giving away six all-expense-paid trips to London, including two for the grand winners of the men and women Elite Criterium in McKinley West, and two for the men and women Professional Road Race winners in Subic. Two trips will also be raffled off during the Bike Community Days in both locations.
All participants of the event will also get a limited-edition PRUride PH 2018 jersey and all finishers will be awarded with a finisher medal.
PRUride PH 2018 is held in partnership with Integrated Cycling Federation of the Philippines, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, National Bicycle Organization, and the local government unit of the Province of Bataan. Learn more about the event and register by logging on to http://pruride.ph.
