EU Delegation launches 1st 5KM Walk/Run for Int’l Day of Persons with Disabilities

The European Union (EU) Delegation to Guyana, Suriname and CARICOM will host its inaugural EU five-kilometre (km) Walk/Run on Sunday, December 7, 2025 as part of its commitment to advancing inclusion and promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. The event is being organised in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and produced by STRIDE592.
The five-km Walk/Run will begin at 06:00 AM, at the National Park in Georgetown, and move through the National Park and Kingston Seawall area. It aims to bring communities together through a morning of health, movement and solidarity.
As an action aligned with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the initiative highlights the EU’s continued support for inclusive participation across all sectors of society. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Guyana Blind Cricketers Association, supporting their ongoing efforts to develop adaptive sports and expand opportunities for athletes with visual impairments.
According to the EU Delegation, the event represents a joint effort to strengthen public engagement, encourage active lifestyles and amplify the contributions of persons with disabilities across Guyana. It also reflects the EU’s wider collaboration with national partners in support of social development, equity and community empowerment.
