Hugely popular Batelco Fitness on Track returns to BIC this Friday

The opportunity to maintain health and wellbeing in a fun and safe environment is on offer once again at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) with the latest hosting of the widely popular Batelco Fitness on Track programme on Friday (November 19).

Scores of runners and cyclists of all ages are expected to be a part of this unique activity where they can maintain or improve their physical fitness along a Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit.

Recent events have attracted large numbers of participants with tickets selling out days in advance.

BIC is dedicated to offering participants an opportunity to train or simply casually exercise within a secure and controlled setting. Friday’s event is scheduled to be held between 6am and 10am, giving participants a bright and healthy start to their weekend.

The running and cycling will take place on separate track layouts. Runners and walkers will be utilising the 2.550-kilometre Inner Track, while cyclists will be able to ride their bikes along BIC’s 3.543-kilometre Outer circuit, with a dedicated area for children’s cycling.

Additional facilities provided on site include food and beverage trucks available, as well as water stations.

All those wishing to participate must pre-register and pay in advance on BIC’s official website bahraingp.com. The cost to take part is BD2 for cyclists and BD1 for runners. Those under the age of 12 can participate for free if accompanied by a paying adult.

Interested participants are advised to secure their spot at the earliest as tickets to both running and cycling sell out fast.
