Jualian-Andrés-Profesor-Udistrital-Carrera de observación - bicicleta 2018

Abstract

Students in the ninth semester of Sports Administration at the Francisco José de Caldas District University, coordinated by Professor Rafael Bautista, organize "Observation", a bicycle observation race that will be held in Bogotá. The event, with free registration and a recreational-sports focus, will tour the towns of Teusaquillo, Mártires and Chapinero without a pre-established circuit, allowing each team to define its own route. Logistical planning and obtaining sponsors have been managed entirely by the students as a real practice of their professional career, managing to accumulate a prize pool valued at approximately ten million pesos. In addition to the sports component, the contest includes a fair with food and tattoos, and promotes a social cause: teams that donate an academic gift or a new toy to a children's foundation will receive a five-point advantage in the competition. Professor Bautista highlights that this type of initiatives demonstrates the broad field of action of the institution's sports administrators, who have already led projects with diverse communities and high-level entities.
