The teachers category will be a 2k race with prizes for the youngest and oldest teacher along with cash and trophies at stake overall.
“The King Medas-Pansy Adonis classic has grown over the years and as the founder and organiser I am happy to give back and at the same time welcome our nation builders the teachers,” Medas-King stated.
According to the organiser the route for the events would see the 1k starting at Enmore, which is for children 8 & under and 12 & under boys and girls.

“In trying to make this event better we are asking athletes to register early because the late start we get every year is something we want to cut out. Please be advised that the race starts promptly at 6:00am,” Medas-King informed. He is encouraging all schools to register for the event and come out and support.
The prizes range from lap top computers for the top athletes who did well in the CXC exams, 7″ tablets, SD cards, flash drives and also special presentation of running shoes.
