There are several suggested sporting events for all interested participants of the 2011 Tagaman Saipan competition before the event.
There will be the Saipan Hash House Harriers which will be a great way to explore the jungles of Saipan. Hashing is a popular activity held every Saturday afternoon. Hares (the people that set the trail and get a 10 minute head start) prepare a running trail through the boonies and Hounds (the people that follow the special trail markings) try and get to the On Home as quickly as possible.
There will also be Sports Clinics. Hear what the pro’s have to say about their training techniques, how they prepare for a race, and equipment preparation. These informative sessions are free. Along with the sessions will be the Tank 2 Tank Swims. Enjoy the famous tank 2 tank swim. This is a 1.3K swim using the World War II tanks as its buoy markers.
There will also be a Tour De Saipan.
This one stage recovery ride takes riders to all the historical sites on Saipan’s northern beaches. The 2-hour tour includes stops at Last Command Post, the Banzai Cliffs, The Grotto (for a once in a life time cave swim) and a scenic view of Bird Island.
