Jun 06, 2014 Sports

The country’s best race walkers will throw down the gauntlet when the Cavalier’s Sports and Tour Club (CS&TC) stages an event in observance of World Environment Day and Guyana Environment Week this Sunday, June 8.
Walkers will convene at the National Cultural Centre, Homestretch Avenue, for the event which proceeds to, and culminates at the Bandstand in the Botanical Gardens.
Participants will compete in several categories and the top three finishers in the respective categories will receive trophies and medals. Those categories being contested are male and female (seniors), juniors, veterans and those that are differently able.
Meanwhile, Coordinator (CS&TC), Jennifer Major, said that this race will enable local race walkers to hone their skills in preparation for the 2016 Brazil Olympics.
Consequently, activities will continue along this vein on Sunday July 15 with a 10K race walk around the periphery of Melanie Demishana ECD starting at the Old Complex. Then on June 29, race walkers will convene at the inner circuit of the National Park for another 10K race in memory of the late Clarence D Kirton. Once again the top walkers will receive prizes from the corporate community and activities will commence at 06:30hrs.
