The women’s category highlighted the inclusive nature of the competition. Betika said: “Cycling is an activity that does not discriminate gender, and the women’s winner walked away with TZS1m (€400) in cash, allowing her to enjoy the holiday with her family.”

On the men’s side, the champion received a brand-new motorcycle in addition to TZS1m (€400).
