The Saigon Cyclo Challenge 2012, the only cyclo race for charity in the world, will take place in District 7 on March 10.

Held annually for the past ten years, this year’s event will feature ten teams joining the three-wheel cyclo race around Ban Nguyet (Crescent) Lake in Phu My Hung new urban area.

The teams represent the companies that are the 10 Gold sponsors of the event, and the organizer, the Saigon Children’s Charity, hopes to raise at least US$5,000, more than 90 percent of which will be used to support needy in its SCC’s programmes.
