Bike for Charity in the 7-Eleven Tour 500

In celebration of the opening of their 500th store, 7-Eleven also wants to give back to the Filipino community, who has remained faithful and staunch customers since the launch of its first store in 1984, with a special biking tour aptly named the 7-Eleven Tour 500.

Open to all biking enthusiasts who want to enjoy the thrills of riding in a safe environment while helping your chosen charities, the 7-Eleven Tour 500 will commence on August 8, 2010 at 7:30am at the 7-Eleven Market Drive in Filinvest Corporation, Alabang.

The fun and challenging tour is intended for those who want to complete their first 60km ride in serene and supportive surroundings, as well as those who wish to test themselves in a competitive environment. The first 37km of the route will take riders through Daang Hari, Molino Drive, Paliparan Road and Governor's Drive. You can then choose to turn into Amadeo Road or test your endurance, since the next 23km will take you on a route with an average grade of 2.5%, finishing at the Tagaytay Convention Center.

The first placer will get P25,000 donated to a charity or NGO of his choice, while the second and third placers will get P10,000 and P5,000 donated to their chosen charities, respectively. Proceeds from the biking tour will also go to Bantay Bata.

For more information on the 7-Eleven Tour 500, please check out posters and flyers, or visit www.7-eleven.com.ph. You may also visit 7-Eleven branches to register. Registration is up to August 5, 2010 only.
