The company, which has a rich history in supporting sport and its development in Guyana, expressed delight at having an opportunity to be part of something it deemed as ‘significant’, and also wished the local athletes representing Guyana well.
Aubrey Hutson, President of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), which is tasked with ensuring that one of South America’s important fixtures of distance athletes is properly organised, upon collecting the cheque for an undisclosed sum, lauded John Fernandes Limited for answering the call for support.
According to the AAG President, the 16th edition of the South American 10K will coincide with the Association’s 70th anniversary, and as such, John Fernandes’ support is seen as timely.
The South American 10K’s second leg will officially be launched on Thursday , at which time all information pertaining to the event will be given.
The race will be held under the theme “Run for Guyana gold”’, since it will be the only athletic meet of its kind in Guyana to offer the winner a ‘real’ gold medal.
