Payless Varity Store on Wellington Street, Georgetown is on board as the premier sponsor for the second annual Independence 5-Km Run and Health and Fitness Walk which is set for Sunday May 21 and organised by the Rising Star Track Club in collaboration with Office of the President and Guyana Community of Service. The race starts from Square of the Revolution, proceeds up Hadfield Street, round Mandela Avenue, into Homestretch Avenue and back to the starting point. The race commences at 16:00hrs.
Athletes who enter for the 5-Km run, which be for both Males and Females, will pay a registration fee of $200, while anyone can enter the Fitness Walk over the same distance with no registration fee required.
There is also a Masters Race in 40-45, 45-50, 50-55 and over 55 divisions for both Males and Females and registration can be done at any of the Athletic clubs or the Mike Parris Boxing Gym. Registration can also be done on the day of the Event not later than 15:30hrs.
Claudrice McKoy, Matthew McKenzie, Masters runner Llewellyn Gardener, National Distance runner Clevand Thomas are all expected to compete for what promoter of the Event, Athletics Coach Leslie Black described as, significant cash prizes.
All Participants will receive a souvenir Medal and T-Shirts and it is expected that former High Jumper 98-year-old Hilton ‘Champ’ Lewis who competed in the 2016 US Masters games will be a main attraction since he is two years from being a Guyanese centurion and is very fit, competing with many men in their 60’s.
