Freedom Run in Grande for ‘Cleansing the Mind’

This year’s version of the run is expected to attract the largest crowd in its existence and is increasingly popular due to its family- style atmosphere.

Defending champs Lionel D’Andrade (Guyana) and Arimian April Francis are expected to compete in search of their third successive victory in this event. If they are victorious, they will automatically be awarded the challenge trophy to take home permanently.

The run starts at Walke Street and goes along Picton Road, alongside the Sangre Grande Hospital (Katwaroo Street), then onto Ojoe Road, straight to the “roundabout”, with the final straight through the heart of Sangre Grande (Eastern Main Road) with the finish line at Walke Street.

At this location, those gathered will be entertained by the melodious sounds of hometown steel band “Jaynotes Steel Orchestra”.

Trophies, medals and prizes will be given out to the overall top three finishers, along with the participants in a range of categories from children under six years to adults over 66 years. The organisers thanked Home Centre Singer for their continued support throughout the years and are expecting a large turnout and urged the public to line the streets and support the runners in an overall “Cleansing the Mind”. The registration fee is set at $20 per person and can be done on the day or before, interested persons/ companies can contact 370-5326 for more information.
