Bahrain International Circuit (BIC)'s widely popular Batelco Fitness on Track programme returns tomorrow, offering members of the public the opportunity to maintain their health and wellbeing in a fun and safe environment.

Previous events have attracted large numbers of participants to “The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East”, with tickets selling out days in advance for this unique activity.

This is expected to be the same this week, and runners and cyclists of all ages are being invited to secure their places today for the chance to maintain or improve their physical fitness along a Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. All those wishing to participate must pre-register and pay in advance on BIC’s official website bahraingp.com.

The cost to take part is BD2 for cyclists and BD1 for runners. Those under the age of 12 can participate for free if accompanied by a paying adult. All those taking part can train or simply casually exercise within BIC’s secure and controlled setting. Tuesday’s event is scheduled to be held between 6 pm and 10 pm.

The running and cycling will take place on separate track layouts. Runners and walkers will be utilising the 2.550-kilometre Inner Track, while cyclists will be able to ride their bikes along BIC’s 3.543-kilometre Outer circuit, with a dedicated area for children’s cycling.

Additional facilities provided on-site include food and beverage trucks available, as well as water stations. For more information on the Batelco Fitness on Track programme, visit bahraingp.com or call the circuit hotline on +973- 17-450000.
