On Saturday 8 March 2008, the eighth Saigon Cyclo Challenge will be held, re-igniting fierce rivalries forged each year since the Cyclo Challenge of 2001. The Cyclo Challenge is considered to be the premier Event in Saigon’s charity/ sporting calendar. In the eight years since its inception the Cyclo Challenge has proved an enduring Team Building event where Co-ordination and Team Spirit reap Rewards. Teams with Skills such as Imaginative Design, Choreography and Performing Arts and those with Stamina, Manual Dexterity and Determination will Win their Finest Hour.
The Cyclo Challenge is without parallel. It celebrates a unique Vietnamese cultural icon and major tourist attraction: the environmentally friendly, non-polluting Cyclo.
Seven cyclo races will be the feature of the day. Companies riding brightly decorated cyclos and supported by drumming bands and cheerleaders will do battle. This is the day for entertaining staff or corporate clients; the event will feature a VIP marquee, a ‘food village’, corporate hospitality tents, bars and coffee corners and a children’s activity zone.
Over the years hundreds of sponsors and thousands of participants have raised tens of thousands of dollars for the education of children in need. The growth of the Saigon Cyclo Challenge is a glowing testimony to the Health, Fitness and sense of Social Responsibility of Saigon’s business community. Our goal is to raise US$60,000 in 2008.
Spectator fees will be VND200,000 for adults,VND150,000 for children under 12, and free for the under 5s. The Children’s Activity Zone will boast dozens of activities including driving mini-cyclos as well as free ice cream, drinks and prizes for our younger spectators to enjoy.

Sponsors:
Sponsor packages cost US$3,685 for a gold sponsorship package and US$2,145 for a silver sponsorship package - (please see attached for details). Grand Prize (US$935), Product and Prize sponsorship packages are also available. Gold and Silver Sponsors will each provide a cyclo decorated in their company colours. Each cyclo will then be 'in the paddock' for allocation to competitors who will ride the cyclos in some 7 races throughout the day.
Race Programme and Management:
Each company sponsoring a cyclo will allow any competitor to use its cyclo for the races. Each competitor will indemnify every sponsor, organizer and track owner against any and all claims arising in connection with the competitor's decision to race cyclos. Each race will pitch businesses from the same industry together in a competition of speed and skill in a novel format. One of the few elements common to all races is that every contestant will be required to wear a helmet and no passengers will be carried.
There will be 5 separate novelty or industry races and each contestant will be required to have been to one cyclo practice in the evenings preceding the races. The first and second placed in the industry races will qualify to enter the Grand Challenge Final which is a two-lap race to find the fastest competitor of the day. One team will go home that evening clutching the prestigious Grand Challenge Trophy. Three other competitions will also be decided (judged by three distinguished members of the Ho Chi Minh City Diplomatic Corps) including Best Dressed Cyclo, Best Cheerleaders and Best Banner.
