VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI- The titles of men and women champions of the Highland Spring College Classic Series on Virgin Gorda will be up for grabs in the final race this Saturday November 7, 2015.

The first race was won by Reuben J. A. Stoby and Emily O’Reilly in the men and women’s division respectively, while the second race was won by Emrol Amsterdam and Raw Skillz Track Club's Britney Peters.

Stoby, who has already won the College Classic Series on Tortola, has been invited to compete in a 10k race in Guadeloupe this weekend and is expected to return there having recently competed in the NACAC 10K in Petit Bourg.

This means that Amsterdam could end up lifting the champion’s trophy, unless Curwin Andrews, who had beaten Amsterdam to place second in the first race, decides to spoil the party.

As for the women, with both Peters and O’Reilly having a win under their belts, a keenly contested final race is anticipated-providing that both athletes show up for the race.

Race time on Saturday is 7am. Registration begins at 6:30am.

An awards ceremony will be held at the conclusion of the race.

Scotiabank/BVIHSA 2nd annual 5K

Meanwhile, this Saturday will also see the staging of the 2nd annual Scotiabank/British Virgin Islands Health Services Authority 5K Walk/Run.

The walk/run is being done to benefit the Peebles Hospital Pediatric Unit and will kick off from the parking lot between Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park and the Scotiabank main branch in Road Town.

The run begins at 5:45am and the walk at 6am.

Registration for the event is $25.00 for adults while children under 12 years of age are free.

Persons can register as an individual or as a group. Registration forms are available at every Scotiabank branch, at Peebles Hospital, at all Community Health Clinics and can be downloaded at www.bvihsa.vg.

Interested persons are kindly asked to contact Olanzo Boynes at 541-1446 / 852-2188 or Franka Potter 541-1602.
