Welcome to the sixth edition of Galala Challenge taking place this October 14th, 2022.
Our aim this year is to promote having safer roads for cycling. The theme of this event is Together Green. We look forward to raising awareness of cycling, enhancing the quality of life of individuals through sports, encouraging people to travel within Egypt safely using bikes and introducing sports tourism in Egypt.
Inspired by Egypt's road to the 27th UN Climate action (COP27), which will take place in Sharm El Sheikh this coming November 2022, we are also promoting bicycle's environmental sustainability while using a zero emission form of transport thus reduced carbon emissions and improved air quality.
