At a simple presentation ceremony on Wednesday afternoon, proprietor of the fitness store, Jamie McDonald, disclosed the reason for his support when he highlighted the developmental aspect of the league.
“This league, in the next few years, will help to develop athletics, and when I saw it in the papers, I thought this would be good to be a part of, this is what the athletes need,” McDonald shared.

Meanwhile, President of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), Aubrey Hutson, was also on hand to thank Fitness Express for its support in boosting the local athletics calendar.
Hutson remarked, “This league will help to give the athletes consistent competition, and that is important.”
