Aside from trophies, medals and certificates, the top three finishers in the men’s open division of both the mountain bike and road bike competition will pocket a uniform cash reward of P5,000, P3,000, and P2,000, respectively.

The rest of top three performers in the women’s open, men’s 17 Under, 36-49, and 50-above age groups of mountain bike and 15-below category of road race will receive P3,000, P2,000 and P1,000.

Not only that, the champions in all eight categories will also take home one sack of rice each, while the second and third placers will get 15 kilos of rice.

Councilor Vincent Villacrusis will be raffling off a brand new mountain bike for all participants, while some SB members will be giving away bike accessories to make the event a fun-filled and memorable moment for everyone to enjoy.

Exclusive only for pedal-pushers from Bantayan Island comprising the towns of Madridejos, Bantayan and Sta. Fe, the one-day tilt is among the main highlights of the annual town fiesta of the Lawisanons in honor of their beloved patroness, the miraculous Inmaculada Concepcion on December 8.
