More than 110 participants kicked off the Mourant H. Lavity Stoutt Community College running series on Saturday.
The event is in its 23rd year, despite only one race being held last season due to Hurricane Irma. However, organisers are optimistic that the series will be completed both on Tortola and Virgin Gorda.
Race Director Stephanie Russ Penn said she is “excited to have this wonderful community event back in full swing and she looks forward to the increased participation as the public schools resume and the word continues to spread.”
For the first time, the series has gone green, an initiative encouraged by the law firm Mourant, the main sponsor of the series since 2016. Participants are asked to bring their own water bottle, while water otherwise is distributed to participants in reusable cups, instead of disposable plastic bottles.
Leading the One Mile (under-9 and under-11) Boys and Girls divisions after the first race are Charlie Potgieter and Taryn Augustine, respectively.
Clifton Stuiken and Katrina Lindsay were the respective overall men and women open two-mile winners.
Mr. Stuiken, who ran 10 minutes 49.62 seconds, is within striking distance of Lyndell Roberts’ course record of 10:45.3 minutes set in November 1997.
In the Cross Country Division, Cedar School Primary and Secondary, the Cedar School Parents and Teachers Team and Rotary of Tortola are the front runners in their respective divisions.
The series to VG this Saturday. Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. at the HLSCC Virgin Gorda Centre and the race starts at 7 a.m. For more information about the race series, contact Ms. Russ Penn at 496-7155 or sruss@hlscc.edu.vg
