The legacy run is one of the many activities programmed by the ministry and the National Sports Commission.
The event is expected to attract some 1500 Guyanese of different ages, ability levels, and gender, who will also be given the opportunity to experience the country's premier sports facility.
Ambulances, doctors and other medical personnel will follow the run throughout. It was also assured that adequate security will be supplied to ensure the safety of competitors and officials at all times.
Participatory T-Shirts will be given to all starters at the starting points, while individual certificates will also be distributed to all persons completing the run. Trophies for each of the three categories, people with disabilities, largest contingent and most organized, will be presented.
Transportation for participants and officials will be provided at various points of the run. The activity is expected to be held annually.
