AFTER many years of dormancy, the Guyana Masters Athletics Association (GMAA) will be hosting a 5km run in the National Park, come Sunday, in an effort to resuscitate its functions.

Leading athletes of GMAA Phillip Beckles, Llewellyn Gardner, Maurice Fagundes, Ian Archibald, Alisha Fortune, Carlene Phillips and Cameal Martins will be competing with top competitors from Mercury Fast Lane Athletics Club, Police Sports Club, Guyana Defence Force, and Running Brave.
Speaking with Chronicle Sport, assistant secretary George Barry said that the association was founded in 1976 but was inactive for many years due to the decrease in membership, but he is optimistic that this meet will be setting the tone for much more to come in the not-too-distant future since there has been an increase in membership.
While the clubs have signalled their intentions, Barry also mentioned that the meet is open to the general public.
All interested persons are asked to be at the starting line for a 16:00hrs start. Prizes will be given to winners of each category.
