The newly formed Rose Hall Town Athletic Club is continuing with its quest to organise athletics activities in Berbice in its effort to revitalize the sport in the ancient county. The club, which has been running off monthly road races since its formation, will be taking it one step further by organising its monthly road race and a ‘Day of Sprints’ which is carded for Wednesday 1st May (Labour day) 2013.
The day’s event will begin at 07:30 hrs at the Ulverston bus shed with the road race and end with a lap around the Area H Ground in Rose Hall Town.
The day of sprints where all sprinters will battle for over $150,000 in cash and prizes is expected to get underway at 09:00hrs. The athletes will battle over 100M, 200M, 400M and 4x100M relay events in the U-14, 16, 18, 20, 25 and over 25 categories and will feature both male and female athletes. There will also be invitational races and athletes from throughout Guyana are expected to be a part of the day’s action.
Athletes are asked to register by Monday 29th April and those interested can make contact with Godwyn Allicock on 660-9048 or 337-4774 or Mr. Colin Bynoe Jr on 629-7613. (Samuel Whyte)
