Top runner Winston Missigher starred in Saturday’s Aquatic Starz Shine 5K ‘Fun Run’, which started and ended at the Diamond tarmac, East Bank Demerara.
Some 150 runners from all age ranges participated in the mega event, which saw 
the highlight race being between Missigher and rival Cleveland Thomas. When the dust settled, Missigher was victorious, having crossed the line as champion in a time of 15 minutes 16 seconds.
He was closely trailed by veteran Thomas, who narrowly missed out on the title, but managed to clock an impressive 15m 17s for his second place; while third place was sealed by Marlon Nicholson, who ran 15m 32s.
Other top performers this past weekend included Aleka Persaud, the national youth swimmer who exhibited similar class out of the pool. The feisty 12-year-old dominated the age 11-16 category with a time of 22m12s.
Second and third places were occupied by Donna Lowe, who ran 24m 51s, and Aliyah Clarke, whose time was 26m 31s. The 5K race was the first of four scheduled events on the Aquatic Starz calendar for 2018.
