Briton John to defend Jagan’s Memorial Road Race title on Sunday

The Flying Ace Cycle Club will stage its Annual Jagan’s Memorial Cycle Road Race on Sunday, March 29, with riders set to roll off from Freedom House in New Amsterdam at 08:30hrs. Briton John, the defending champion, will be aiming to make three in a row, having dominated the event in 2024 and 2025.
The race will see Briton and his challengers travel along the Corentyne corridor to the No. 51 Police Station before making the turn and heading to Babu-John for the finish, setting up what organisers expect to be a competitive outing across several categories.

Prizes will be awarded across multiple divisions, with the General Classification rewarding the top six finishers. The Veterans Open category will cater for its top four riders, while the Veterans Over-50 division will award its top three competitors, all of whom will finish at Babu-John on the upward journey.
The Juniors, Category Four, and Ladies divisions will also be contested, each offering prizes for the top three finishers. Similar to the Veterans Over-50 category, the Ladies competitors will conclude their race at Babu-John on the upward leg of the course.
To add further competition throughout the event, 10 prime points will be available along the route, providing opportunities for riders to secure intermediate rewards.
Transportation for cyclists is scheduled to depart from Freedom House on Robb Street at 05:45h on race day, ensuring participants arrive in Berbice in time for the start.
