(BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, October 12, 2012) – The Run Barbados Series will mark a momentous 29 years of competition this year, when the gun goes off at the start of the Powerade Fun Mile in St. Lawrence Gap in early December.
From December 7 through 9, first time and longstanding patrons of the Run Barbados event will converge on the island to participate in the usual competitive events of the Fun Mile, set for Friday December 7; the 10K and 3K on Saturday December 8; and finally, the Half Marathon and the 5K on Sunday December 9.
Notably absent from this year’s schedule is the Marathon, which organizers announced was dropped from the 2012 schedule of events for technical reasons. However, persons previously registered for the Marathon will automatically be entered to participate in the Half Marathon.
This year will once again feature event-specific Barbados Challenge, which will reward runners for their participation in a pre-established combination of events.
Gold Medal – Run the Powerade Fun Mile, the 10K and the Half Marathon
Silver Medal – Run the Powerade Fun Mile, the 10K and the 5K
Bronze Medal – Run the Powerade Fun Mile, the 3K and the 5K
