SIC Opens 2010 with Bikeathon Cycling Race
Kicking off 2010 with a difference, motor racing promoter Sepang International Circuit (SIC) will be organising a combined event of criterium and mountain bike race on January 24 as its first major event for the year.
Officially called Kencana-SIC Bikeathon 2010 and sponsored by Kencana Petroleum, the criterium race will run on the race track in the morning while the mountain bike challenge will venture the rugged terrain around the circuit facility in the afternoon.
“It will actually be two different races with two different sets of participants; but we are running it under one name – the SIC- Kencana-SIC Bikeathon 2010. But, we do allow interested competitors to enter both and I truly hope some will take up that challenge,” said SIC Chief Executive Officer Razlan Razali in a statement today.
He added that the organisation of the bikeathon event was in line with the circuit’s new image which he advocated since coming in as the CEO in 2008; which was to promote the circuit more than just a motor racing facility.
