A cyclothon (cycling) event will be organized in Sri Ganganagar on December 6, 2026, under the joint aegis of the Fit Ganganagar Society and the district administration. This event aims to promote the message of health, fitness, and de-addiction.
District Collector Dr. Amit Yadav stated that three distances have been set for participants: a 42 km endurance challenge, a 25 km fitness ride, and an 8-10 km recreational general public ride.
The 42 km endurance challenge will begin at 6:30 am and a time of 2 hours and 30 minutes has been allotted to complete it. The 25 km fitness ride will start at 7:00 am, for which a time limit of 1 hour and 30 minutes has been set. The 8-10 km general public ride will start at 8:15 am, in which people of all age groups can participate.
Anti-drug pledge and special groups
The main attraction of the event will be a mass anti-drug pledge, where all participants will raise their hands together and take a vow to lead a drug-free life. To encourage women's participation, a special group named 'Women on Wheels' will lead the 10 km ride.
Students from various schools will participate as 'Young Champions' teams, which will increase awareness about sportsmanship, discipline, and fitness among children and youth.
Honor and participation
Every participant who completes the ride will be awarded a finisher certificate or medal, regardless of their speed or performance, so that participation is valued over competition.
