Aiming to promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage community engagement in important social initiatives, a mass bike ride under the slogan "Astana — city without drugs" is set to take place in the Kazakh capital of Astana on May 25, Kazinform News Agency reported citing the city's official website.
The 25-kilometer route will start from the ring bike path heading toward Kosshy and conclude in the Green Belt Park in the Ilinka (Urker) residential area.
Registration will be held on the day of the event between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m. The ride will begin at 9:00 a.m. Participation is free and each participant is required to bring their own bicycle.

The organizers announced that a raffle featuring valuable prizes will be held at the end of the ride for all registered participants.
