BMX competition heads to Windhoek
The RMB Namibia/NCF BMX national finals will take place on Saturday, 9 September at the SKW grounds in Windhoek.
The event will attract junior cyclists who are going to compete for honours.
RMB Namibia, through the FNB Namibia Foundation Trust, sponsored the Early-Rider Development BMX programme of the Namibian Cycling Federation (NCF) to the tune of N$218 750.
According to RMB CSI chairman Ray Auala, this programme is part of RMB's corporate social investment drive in Namibia.
“We enjoy the enthusiasm and dedication of the children and are proud that we are part of teaching them a new skill, while at the same time ensuring that children enjoy a healthy sport outdoors,” Auala said.
One of the events that form part of the programme took place at Omaruru on 12 August.
A total of 49 children, aged between six and 16, from 12 different schools took part.
The BMX #5 day was held on the Ozondje open ground and riders had to give it their all to manage the 200 metres, plenty of corners as well as stretches of hard gravel and soft sand.
Every child received a certificate of participation and the top three in each age category were awarded with a bronze, silver or gold certificate.
