The latter part of May will be a busy one for athletics in Guyana
The Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) on Sunday last held its first meeting of the year with athletics coaches at the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU) Hall, Woolford Avenue, Georgetown.
According to a missive from the Association, President Sheryl Hermonstine and her executive team engaged in meaningful consultations aimed at advancing athletics in Guyana.
A key highlight was a presentation by members of the Development Committee, outlining strategic development plans for the remainder of 2025 and the following three years. The discussion also focused on how coaches and club executives can actively support the sport’s growth.
A report on Guyana’s participation in the recently-concluded 2025 CARIFTA Games was also presented, followed by the announcement of several upcoming events scheduled for May and June:
Among those upcoming events outlined by the AAG is the Kids Athletics meet at the National Track and Field Center (NTFC), West Coast Demerara this Saturday.
Then, on Saturday, May 24, the athletics action will shift to Plaisance on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD) where the Plaisance Golden Mile will take centre stage. On the same day, the Guyana Overseas-based Sports Association (GOBSA) will host its Track and Field Championships and AAG Fundraising Barbeque at the NTFC.
On May 25, the AAG has scheduled the Burgette Williams 10K Road Race in Georgetown while the National Senior Track and Field Championships is pencilled in for the weekend of June 27 to June 29 at the NTFC.
