PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Property recently organised the third instalment of its City of Elmina Mountain Bike (MTB) Jamboree, which received an overwhelming response from the public with more than 1,000 enthusiastic participants from different countries including Malaysia.

The event was divided into two main categories – Race and Jamboree on a specially designed off-road trail spanning a distance of 33km. The track is located near the 2,700 acres forest reserve within Sime Darby Property’s scenic and lush City of Elmina township.

According to the statement released by the company, participants had the opportunity to experience the newly completed trails of the Elmina West Central Park before its public opening next year, as winners walked away with cash and other attractive prizes.

“We want to encourage healthy lifestyles and establish vibrant community living. We bring people together creatively in places and spaces where they can socialise, have fun, enrich each other’s lives and just be happy, “ said Sime Darby Property chief operating officer Datuk Wan Hashimi Albakri.

“Nowadays, customers look beyond just the property – they look at the quality of lifestyle the township has to offer,” he added.

There was also a ‘Fun Ride’ introduced this year exclusively for Sime Darby Property’s Management team, representatives from the local council and authorities, as well as members of the media, led by Sime Darby Property general manager Appollo Leong, alongside triathletes Jessen Lee & Sue Teoh.
