According to a press release from Courts, the event comes “on the heels of the record breaking event held last year”. The event which is now a fixture on the AAG Calendar sees some clubs, athletes and gyms participating every year.
Courts boasted in its press release that last year had “the largest registration in the history of any 10km event in Guyana”. The race is opened to athletes in the junior, senior and master categories for both males and females.
“Courts will be handing over $1,500,000 in cash, prizes and trophies. The race will commence at Courts Main Street Store at 6 am and a 3km event will be held simultaneously for staff members of the company as the brand continues to promote healthy lifestyles even among its staff,” Courts continued in the circular.
The first to third place finishers for male and female staff members will be awarded cash prizes and trophies. “Courts is proud to be able to continue to host this event, making good on its commitment to sports in Guyana”.
Cleveland Forde has been the most dominant athlete in the race, missing out on just one title in 2014 when he did not compete owed to an injury. Forde will be back to defend his title from last year with the female category open to challenge.
