Will You Be There?UWI’S HALF MARATHON: 12th edition, 1200 participants
You’ll meet some old friends (like Daniel Chavez Da Silva of Brazil, Rupert Green of Jamaica and Philip Lagat of Kenya; even Caroline Kiptoo of Kenya, Brazilian Cruz Nonata Da Silva and Colombian Lineida Madeus Rojas and Guadeloupe’s Christelle Laurent). You’ll find some new – Cuba’s Richer Perez, gold medal winner in the Men’s Marathon at the 2015 Pan Am Games and Levan Reyes of Venezuela. You’ll remember that you’re doing it for you and for the Rape Crisis Society and the Coalition against Domestic Violence, charities affiliated with title sponsor First Citizens Bank PINK Card initiative. And you’ll spare a thought for Mr. Charles Spooner, the 2014 over 80 winner who passed away this May. He was 91 and the 2014 race was his 9th consecutive UWI SPEC International Half Marathon. With more than $150,000 in cash prizes, there’s a category for just about everyone - including prizes for the physically challenged, Special Olympics, wheelchair and team/club. Participants can expect water stops and markers at every mile, electronic timing and finish line photography. So, the question remains – will you be there? |
It’s time to challenge yourself. On October 25, it will just be you and the road and your innate determination to complete what you started months ago.
