In a move prioritizing participant welfare, the Interface Development Interventions (IDIS) has officially announced the postponement of its much-awaited biking event in Mati City, Davao Oriental.
The decision comes after thorough safety assessments revealed potential risks that could compromise the well-being of cyclists and participants. Event organizers emphasized that while disappointing, the postponement was necessary to ensure everyone's security during the activity.
Safety Concerns Take Priority
According to official statements, the organizing team identified several safety issues that required immediate attention. Rather than pushing through with potential hazards, IDIS leadership made the difficult but responsible choice to reschedule.
"We cannot in good conscience proceed with an event where participant safety might be compromised," an IDIS representative stated. "Our commitment to our community's well-being will always come first."
What Participants Need to Know
Organizers have assured registered participants that:
- All registrations will remain valid for the rescheduled date
- Full refund options will be available for those unable to attend the new date
- Updated safety protocols are being developed
- New event dates will be announced soon through official channels
The biking event was expected to draw hundreds of cycling enthusiasts from across the Davao region and beyond, making it one of the most anticipated sports gatherings in the area.
Looking Forward
IDIS has committed to working closely with local authorities and safety experts to address all identified concerns. The organization promises an even better and safer event when it eventually takes place.
Cycling communities throughout Mindanao have expressed understanding regarding the postponement, with many praising the organizers for putting safety above all other considerations.
