CyberPeace, along with the Bicycle Mayor of Ranchi with support from sponsor Canara Bank is set to organise the annually held cycling event named “CyberPeace Ranchi Cyclothon 2024” on Sunday, 25th February 2024.
Organized with the aim of spreading awareness against misinformation, Cyclothon focuses on making people realize the dangers of misinformation and helping them understand the importance of factual checks.
With the abundance of information present at the click of our fingers, the spread of misinformation is rampant. CyberPeace aspires to combine the spirit of community engagement with the power of physical activity for wellbeing in this unique event, aiming to pedal our way towards a more informed and truth-driven society.
Another goal behind organizing the Cyclothon 2024 is to inspire people at large to take up cycling in their everyday lives for a healthier and fitter lifestyle and also to fight online misinformation together.
The Cyclothon 2024 is set to start at 5:00 AM and end by 7:30 AM. Interested cyclists can register for the Cyclothon 2024 on the official website - https://www.cyberpeace.org/events/cyberpeace-ranchi-cyclothon-2024.
