Burua added that it will be a fully packed day of activities in Kalangala on Saturday April 21.

“We will start with a bikers race, then autocross championship, a 4x4 wheel drive car challenge before climaxing with the Enduro championship which also doubles as the first round of the National championship,” Burua said.
