Saipan Unity Lions Club will host its 5th Annual Bike Race next Sunday, Nov. 28, 2021, in Marpi.
Bong Martinez, SULC Marketing & Communications officer, said there will be two courses for men and women. The first course is the long course and will encompass the Banzai/Mobil/1-Million Gallon Water Tank Turnaround/Suicide Cliff/Bird Island/Banza route, while the easy course will be the Banzai/Mobil/Banzai route. Both courses will have mountain bike and road bike categories.
“This is a fundraising event which we will conduct to generate funds to help us raise awareness and deliver services in line with the Lions global causes which includes vision, hunger, diabetes, childhood cancer, and environment,” he said.
Martinez added that proceeds from the SULC 5th Annual Bike Race fundraiser will be used for various year-long programs that are in line with the aforementioned service goals as well as other humanitarian services as the needs arise.
