“Of course some of our Carifta athletes Kyrah Scraders, Daniel Oatley and our adult runners Tamika Williams, Deon Breary, Trey Simons and Jay Donawa to name just a few.”  

“The course has been marked out and I have been told that it is a very scenic route with all of the different age groups having to complete a different numbers of laps.
