Health | Amateurs, Professionals and Families Join PRURide PH 2019
It’s
not too late to register for the country’s biggest cycling festival, PRURide PH
2019! On Sunday, April 7, Sunday, all roads lead to Filinvest City, Alabang as
hundreds of cyclists join the Criterium in the kick-off and compete to win cash
prizes.
The
Criterium, fondly called as Crit, is a short action-packed circuit race that
requires a series of strategically-timed sprints and sharp turns from one lap
to another. Beginners, “weekend warriors”, and professional cyclists are
expected to witness and experience a Formula 1 level of bike racing throughout
the day.
“We
are excited to kick off PRURide PH 2019 with Criterium, one of the most
thrilling cycling events because of its intensity and popularity among the
crowds. It sets the tone for the entire festival as a gathering of all kinds of
cyclists and reinforces Pru Life UK’s commitment to promoting a healthy and
active lifestyle through cycling,” shares Allan Tumbaga, Pru Life UK Senior
Vice President and Chief Customer Marketing Officer.
Crit
has a specified number of 1-2km laps on a closed circuit where various rider
groups cycle at top speed. Instead of competing for a set distance,
participants compete on a point system as accumulated from intermediate sprints
and the final lap sprint.

as fixed gear, mountain bike, and road bike. The Mountain Bike category is

check stations, face paint booths, and a special performance from Rivermaya
with Gracenote as front act.
The
leg will be followed by the PRUride UCI
2.2 Stage Race in Subic from May 24 to 26, as well as the competitive Masters Race and fun ride Gran Fondo 30, 60 and 100 kilometers on May 26. All these will kick-start at
