Commenting on the success of the quarterly event, Chairmen, Spinner – YasasHewage said.
Spinfit Sundown has fast become the perfect platform to take Sri Lankan endurance athletes to an international standard, with support comming in from avid cyclists and other athletes, as well as several corporate sponsors, such as HNB, SLT, F5, Prime Lands and JL Morrisons, without whose support the event would not have such a far reach.
