There are more than one million dollars in cash prizes up for grabs in the eighth edition of the Kadir Mohammed Memorial “ounce of raw gold” Cycle Race, and two-time defending champion of this event, Jamual John, will be seeking to extend his supreme form in this race and cash in on his efforts.

The race begins at 7:00h today, Sunday October 13, from the premises of the National Sports Commission at Homestretch Avenue, and will travel to Dora on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway before returning to the point of origin for the finish.
This route is set for seniors, juniors and veterans under 45 years old. The juveniles, veterans over-45 and mountain-bikers will turn back at Yarrowkabra on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
Organised by the Flying Stars Cycle Club and sponsored by the Mohamed family of Bartica, this event has reportedly attracted all the country’s top wheelsmen.
Overall winner of this race will receive one ounce of raw gold, while those placing from second to eighth; top four finishers in the juniors’ category; top three in both the veterans under-45 and veterans over-45; and top three mountain-bikers would each receive cash prizes. (Brandon Corlette)
