1,000 lucky children will win brand new mountain bicycles courtesy of Milo to help kids and their families get active.

The campaign will run till November 30, 2018, and winners will be chosen once in every two weeks through a raffle draw. The lucky winners will get the opportunity to pedal the streets of Colombo with their families at a grand bicycle parade.

Category Marketing Manager Mohamed Ali said: “Milo has always been about ‘fuelling the winning spirit’ and inspiring kids to lead a healthy active lifestyle. We are encouraging children to add cycling to their daily routine, offering them a fun way to get active. Cycling has the advantage of being both a solo or group activity, and can help kids bond with friends and family and get fit together. It also helps create a sense of team spirit and promote friendly competition. This marks Milo’s fourth consecutive year of giving away mountain bicycles; we expect to receive a record-breaking number of entries this time, in comparison with previous years. The campaign’s growing popularity is a testament to the strong trust and love consumers have for the brand.”

He added that post this year’s give-a-ways, the brand would have provided 4,000 children in total with Milo mountain bicycles, through various initiatives.
