for assisting him to compete in the 2015 South American 10km Road Race Classic in Suriname last weekend where he placed second.
Green, who left Guyana last night, is expected to return for the second stage of the race Sunday in Guyana. “I am looking forward to coming back this weekend for second stage,” Green told Kaieteur Sport yesterday.
He ran 33:18 in Suriname behind Forde’s 31:54, but Green’s personal best time is 29:10 and he will be looking to reproduce that performance on Sunday in an effort to overhaul the overall race leader, Forde, who has his eyes set on the US$1500 incentive.
