Courts 10km Road Race, 3km Walk/Jog on today
– Forde in repossession mode
Cleveland Forde will be in repossession mode this morning when the Courts 10km Road Race gets underway from 6am outside Courts Main Street Branch, following his non–participation in the race last year that surrendered the title to Cleveland Thomas.
Among the women, there is a looming battle among United States-based, Euleen Josiah-Tanner and Alika Morgan. Josiah-Tanner is the defending champion. Either which way, today makes for interesting rivalries with revenge at the back of the minds of Forde and Thomas eager to retain his title.
Forde, who is renowned in the Caribbean, will be looking for a sub-30 minute time since his only rival in road races recently has been the clock; the race today, with Thomas and Nathaniel Giddings chasing him, should be a personal test for Forde.
The prizes for the male and female senior category include $100,000 for the winner; $75,000 for second place; $50,000 for third; $30,000 for fourth and $20,000 for fifth place. The prizes in the Masters category (Women 35 years and over and Men 40-54) are $60,000, $40,000 and $25,000 respectively.
A total of $200,000 in vouchers and hampers will be handed out to the Juniors, male and female, with the top prizes being $60,000; second gets $40,000; third $30,000; fourth $20,000, and fifth $10,000. The first 20 Masters, who finish, will each receive a hamper.
The race will start in front of Courts’ Main Street Office, proceed north to the Seawall Road, east along the Seawall Road and continue east along Rupert Craig Highway’s northern carriageway to turn at Church Road on the Rupert Craig Highway.
It will then proceed on the Rupert Craig Highway’s southern carriageway into Kitty Public Road; south on Vlissengen Road; west on Lamaha Street, south on the eastern carriageway into Main Street, before turning around at the Cenotaph to finish on the western carriageway of Main Street in front of Courts.
