THE Go For Gold Criterium Race takes its act down south when it holds Series 2 of its competition this Sunday.
Around 400 participants are expected to compete in 10 categories to be disputed in the one-day race at the City Di Mare in Cebu.
Over P200,000 in prize money will be given out, with the champion in the premier men’s and women’s elite categories receiving P20,000 each.
“With Cebu being a hotbed of cycling and cycling talents, we expect na maraming manonood ng event natin,” Go For Gold founder Jeremy Go said yesterday during the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at the conference hall of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
“We’re trying to make the sport of cycling further grow and also trying to professionalize it. That’s why we always work hand in hand with Philcycling,” Go added. “Aside from organizing safe and well-run races in order to elevate the sport of cycling in the Philippines, these races serve as talent identification for the new and younger generation of Filipino cyclists.”
Lady commissaire Sunshine Vallejos joined Go in the public sports program backed by San Miguel Corporation, Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Smart/PLDT, Milo, and the country’s leading sports entertainment gateway, ArenaPlus.
