Windhoek hosted the launch of a major cycling competition on Wednesday. The Namibian Rotary Club Cycle Classic 2025 represents one of the nation's oldest sports competitions. Event planners hope to attract more than 1,000 riders this year. Last year's race drew exactly 1,000 participants. Rotary Club Windhoek organizes the annual competition.
The cycling event will happen on October 4 and 5. Riders can choose from mountain bike courses, children's races, and road cycling at different lengths. People can buy tickets through online sales or at Model store locations. Race organizers decided to focus only on bicycle events. They removed running competitions to prevent participant confusion.
The Namibian newspaper continues as a major sponsor for the competition. The company has supported the event for many years. Chief operations officer Mark Kissler attended Wednesday's launch ceremony. He announced The Namibian would again pay for Physically Active Youth cyclists to join the race. This sponsorship helps make the event available to more young people.
Kissler expressed his support for the cycling competition during his speech. He wants the race to continue for many future years. The executive wished all riders a safe experience during the October event. Race organizers work to raise money for important community causes. The funds support education programs, elderly care services, and food security projects throughout Namibia.
