BGC Cycle Philippines

Cycle Asia is excited to announce that in partnership with Sunrise Events and Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Cycle Philippines has been added to its 2013 event calendar and will offer a range of thrilling ride categories from 15-17 November
Located within Taguig City, Manila, Bonifacio Global City is set to host BGC Cycle Philippines and will take cyclists past a number of Manila’s most iconic landmarks throughout a truly unique route on closed public roads
The event will also cater to cyclists of all ages and abilities with The Tricycle Ride, The Kids’ Ride, The Community Ride (20km), The Challenge (40km) and various Criterium categories included in the schedule. The entire family will also be kept entertained over the three days with a range of fun activities within the Cycling & Lifestyle Expo
“Cycling continues to enjoy strong growth in the Philippines and we are naturally thrilled to introduce the event at Bonifacio Global City. While the unique venue will certainly offer local cyclists a fantastic riding experience, we also look forward to hosting visitors from around the region as they enjoy the unique thrill of participating in the very first BGC Cycle Philippines,” said Manny Blas II, Head of Commercial Operations, Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation
Cycle Asia, owned and organised by Spectrum Worldwide, has already played host to two hugely successful events in 2013 with OCBC Cycle Malaysia and OCBC Cycle Singapore attracting over 5,000 and 11,500 participants respectively. The Gold Coast Festival of Cycling also features on the 2013 Cycle Asia calendar and will be staged from 27-29 September
“We are delighted to be expanding Cycle Asia to the Philippines and we look forward to working alongside Sunrise Events who have built an outstanding reputation for delivering first-class sporting events,” said Chris Robb, Managing Director, Spectrum Worldwide
Aside from the cycling action during BGC Cycle Philippines, Bonifacio Global City also offers a huge range of activities for tourists to take advantage of during their stay. The district is well known for its open-air lifestyle retail and dining concept and public art program, as well as a world-class science museum and parks
