Kathmandu, August 1
Nepal’s only pump track will host the Velocity Pump Fest on August 5.
The Velocity Pump Fest is a one-day event which puts riders against each other in an exciting competition of speed over the track.
The competition has been divided into different categories like kids, youth, junior riders, elite and masters.
The organisers say around 70 participants will take part in the one-day event which may see over 1,000 spectators.
The top three finishers in each category will be rewarded with a gift hamper. The winner of the elite category will be given a cash prize.
The event is being organized by Switchback Nepal and Himalayan Single Track with support from Giant.
The pump track was built with support from Velosolution in November 2022. The pump track is part of Velosolution’s Pump for Peace project through which the company aims to build pump tracks in underdeveloped countries with the aim of making cycling and action sports more accessible than ever before.
The event will start at 8.30 am and conclude at 4 pm.
