THE NATIONAL RUNWAY CYCLING IS BACK!

If cycling is your cup of tea, do not miss the 11th National Runway Cycling on 28 May.

Jointly organised by the Republic of Singapore Air Force, SAFRA and the Singapore Sports Council, the event will feature what must be the world's widest cycling path - a 60 metre-wide runway at the Paya Lebar Air Base.

Cycling enthusiasts can choose between the 6 km and 15 km routes. But if you are game enough, try the 45 km (for cyclists) or 30 km (for inline skaters) Endurance Challenge event.

There are many other activities to look forward to, including band and dance performances, radio-controlled car circuit, precision drill performances and lucky draws.

Everyone is welcomed to participate in this annual event.

Closing date for registration is 27 May and the event is FREE! So why wait?

Register at all SAFRA clubs. Visit the SAFRA website for more information on this event.
