Forde takes CARICOM 10K in Barbados

GUYANESE distance athlete Cleveland Forde retained his title, at the CARICOM 10K last weekend in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Forde held off the challenges of several of the region’s top athletes, stopping the clock in a time of 33 minutes 11 seconds. He beat off Jamaica’s Kirk Browne (33:15) and Pamenos Ballantyne of St Vincent and the Grenadines, a six-time winner at the event (33:19).
On the distaff end of things, Guyanese Andrea Foster (42:13) finished third behind Linda McDonald of St Vincent and the Grenadines (39:40) and Trinidad’s Tonya Nero who also successfully defended her title.
A record-equalling 11 Caribbean countries participated in the event which is usually a lead-up to the country’s hosting of the CARICOM Heads of Government Meeting.
