We are pleased to inform you that Thiagarajar College of Engineering is organizing the second cycle marathon in Madurai, “TCE CYCLOTHON 2024 - PEDAL FOR A PURPOSE” on 6th October, 2024 (Sunday). Our aim is to host the event annually, each year with a unique purpose.
This year, we are pedaling to raise awareness about the importance of recycling waste and promoting the need for a green environment among all individuals.
Recycling, is the process of converting waste into new, usable product. It benefits the environment, community and the economy. Recycling conserves natural resources, mitigates climate change, prevents pollution and preserves energy. The process involves collection, manufacturing new products and purchasing recycled items. Inspired by Padmashri. Dr. R.Vasudevan, TCE is a pioneer in this cause by laying roads in the campus using plastic waste.
Cycling on the other hand can helps to protect you from serious diseases such as stroke, heart attack, certain cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity and arthritis.
The event is open to men and women of all ages as well as children aged 12-18. The Cyclothon will cover a 21 km track starting from TCE. We are expecting a turnout of over 1,000 enthusiastic cyclists. With our wide reach among the city’s cyclists and for a noble cause we are supporting, the event is poised to become a flagship event in the temple city.
The event has been publicized to general public through various media partners across platforms like print, visual, digital and social media. Pre-event promotional activities will begin on 15th September 2024, spreading awareness about the event to the public.
