Massy Berbice Fitness Walk set for Sunday

On Sunday starting at 6:30h Massy Berbice branch will be holding its first fitness walk which will be opened to the public.

The event forms part of the entity’s activities planned across their Group of Companies to commemorate World Occupational Safety and Health Month which is being observed in April.

The walk will be held under the theme, ‘Willpower knows no obstacles’.

According to Berbice Branch manager Mark Bicki, it is a call for all to become actively involved in their own health. This he says should be done by exercising regularly. “This event follows our big 10km fitness run that is done annually in Georgetown during the month of September when professional athletes compete in preparation for the South American Fitness Run.”

“Massy Berbice intends to make this an annual Berbice event and is inviting corporate Berbice to join in participating in this event and helping to raise the awareness levels among the working class especially where fitness comes in to make our lives better.”

The walk will commence at 6:30h on Sunday from outside Speedy Trading, Number 2 Village, East Canje Berbice and end at Massy Industries, Lot 3 Strand, New Amsterdam.

There will be prizes up for grab for the top three finishers as well as the organization with the most representatives.

A short awareness session on the importance of a healthy lifestyle is scheduled immediately after in the parking lot of Massy Industries.

Meanwhile, persons wishing to participate can assemble at Massy Industries at 06:00h for transportation to the starting point.
