CIMA Sri Lanka, for the second consecutive year organises CIMA Tour de Colombo, a team-based competition designed to test your mental and physical prowess as you race through the bustling streets of Colombo, overcoming a number of challenges or roadblocks as you work to outwit your competitors and complete the course in the shortest possible time.
Tour de Colombo is part of this journey to drive experiential learning across our membership fraternity, whilst also engaging colleagues, friends and family in a fun-filled and memorable experience to all.
The key outcome of CIMA Tour de Colombo is to challenge the participants to put their wits to the test against some of the brightest minds in Sri Lanka. It will allow participants to showcase their tactical thinking and planning skills on an interesting and different playing field – the streets of Colombo. The participants will be given challenges that are not so much physical, but rather more geared towards exercising skills such as team collaboration, problem solving, contingency planning, leadership and decision-making; but all in a spirit of fun and camaraderie. The race event will be managed and executed by a professional event planner with a significant amount of experience in organising such events for leading corporates and social organisations.
Whilst open to the public, the only entry criteria set is that each team of five should carry at least one CIMA member (an associate or fellow holding the CIMA charter). Also there will be a carnival type atmosphere created at the venue where the race will originate and finish off, the Hendry Pedris Basketball stadium on the Havelock Road, Colombo 5. There will be food stalls, drinks stalls and music throughout the evening.
The event is planned for Sunday, November 1, 2015. The registrations of teams commence at 1:00 p.m. whilst the race will kick off at 2:00 p.m. The awards ceremony and fellowship evening is planned to kick off at 7:00 p.m. Already team nominations have come in from diverse groups. 
Since the event doesn’t have any specified team structure, apart from the singular requirement of one CIMA member being in the team, we have seen a very diverse mix of teams registering over the last few days, comprising of groups of friends, office colleagues and in some cases even family members.
To register contact Gayani de Soyza on +94 (0) 11 2503880 ext. 218. Registrations will be open until October 28, 2015.
