The cyclothon was held to commemorate World Environment Day as well as World Bicycle DayDLF5. Fitter cyclothon encourages residents to promote wellness and environmental stewardship.
DLF5 Fitter, a cyclothon for local people in Gurugram, was held to honor World Bicycle and World Environment Day. The goal was to show that riding a bicycle on a regular basis can improve one’s fitness while also protecting the environment from hazardous automotive emissions. Over 200 residents took part in the 12.7-kilometer cyclothon, which started at 5:00 a.m. at Horizon Centre. The riders pedaled hard on Raghavendra Marg till they reached Gateway Towers, then returned to the starting position.
Sharing his experience, Hemant Ruia, a resident of DLF5 said, “I thoroughly enjoyed cycling at DLF5 Fitter. It was heartening to see residents across all age groups taking part in the cyclothon. This is the first time since COVID that all residents have come together for outdoor physical activity like this. We look forward to more such initiatives.”
No traffic was allowed on the road, and marshals were deployed to escort the cyclists along the route to ensure their safety and comfort. Two ambulances, QRT vehicles, and a fire truck were stationed at the starting area to handle any emergencies, and a bicycle check-up camp was set up. Zumba performances, bicycle stunt exhibitions, music with a DJ, and a live band spiced the proceedings significantly on the sidelines of the cyclothon.
A spokesperson from DLF Ltd. commented, “Today, DLF5 represents new standards of a luxury lifestyle, while building a healthy, socially aware, and close-knit community. Sustainability, concern for everyone’s well-being, and a sense of civic responsibility are at the forefront of our life together as a vibrant neighborhood. Our initiatives like the Freedom Run and DLF5 Fitter take us forward on this chosen path. DLF5 Fitter has been envisioned to bring our residents together to celebrate the goal of personal and environmental wellness. This is just the beginning – we plan to upscale such activities in the coming years.”
DLF5 is home to over 30,000 people and effortlessly blends upscale residential communities, cutting-edge offices, world-class dining, retail, and recreational opportunities. The DLF5 Fitter cyclothon, for example, celebrates healthy living against a landscape that is both strikingly futuristic and environmentally friendly.
