Dec 20, 2012 Sports

 

 

Darryl Bennons took advantage of ideal conditions for road racing to register a win in the second monthly road race organised by the Rose Hall Town Anniversary and Development Organisation (RHTADA) for athletes in Berbice. The race which was held last Sunday along the Corentyne Highway, started in front of the Whim Police Station and ended at the Rose Hall Town Arch, covering a distance of 5 kilometers. The female segment of the race got underway from Tain UG campus and covered a distance of 4KM. The event which was sponsored by Banks DIH and friends of Rose Hall Town began at 07:00hrs.
AS the race began the athletes kept a steady pace with Bennons always in contention. The athlete took charge of the race around the halfway mark and never looked back as he crossed the finishing line in a time of 19 minutes.48 seconds, beating into second place Rahaman James by about a minute.   The other places were occupied by Michael Layne third, Michael Dick, Asif Emmanuel, Muaaz Inshan and Dellon Bagot.
On the distaff side Leslyn McKenzie was all alone as she took command of the female segment of the event.  She ran mostly unchallenged as she took the lead from the start to romp home ahead of Tinisha Solomon, Aleema Arokium and Mellissa Kyte.
Prizes were presented by Mr. Fawaaz Harry, Sales Supervisor banks DIH Berbice Branch, while the winning trophies were donated by Jermaine Front Line Barber shop and Arlene Allicock Campbell.
The organisation would like to express their gratitude to all the sponsors, supporters, athletes, the Media and Well wishers and looking forward for their continued support in 2013. 16 athletes faced the starters.
The next event is billed for Sunday 27 January and more categories are expected to be added. The coordinator was Godwyn Allicock. The monthly road race is being promoted to keep athletes active and help to resuscitate competitive running in the Ancient County.
The first race was held on November 11.
