MediPharm Inc., the exclusive authorised representative and distributors for Vitabiotics Limited and Meyers Organics Private Limited in Guyana, announced its partnership yesterday with the Jefford Classic Mile, scheduled for March 12 at the National Park Circuit.

The company announced that it will be sponsoring the event under the renowned Wellman and Wellwoman brands. The top three finishers from each category will benefit from hampers of assorted products. In addition, MediPharm will also sponsor the first place cash prizes in the Open Category.

“We are proud to be associated with the Jefford Classic. We believe in what this brand has done for local athletes and as such we believe this partnership is very important. We are very serious about supporting our local athletes and this event,” the Managing Director at MediPharm, Shevani Persaud, stated at a simple presentation ceremony yesterday.

Founder of the Jefford Classic, Edison Jefford, thanked MediPharm for their support and indicated that the event will be historic and memorable as all the other signature events of the renowned athletics brand.

“The kind of atmosphere and competition that we provide in athletics is second to none in Guyana. Our track record speaks for itself. We will continue to combine athletics and entertainment at this event. We will also ensure that athletes have the right to be called the best one-milers in Guyana while giving the corporate community, civil society and other patrons the opportunity to watch them perform,” Jefford said.

The Jefford Track and Field Classic is Guyana’s biggest grassroots athletics event. The brand is undertaking the resuscitation of the Golden Mile, which was a prominent historic athletics race held at the National Park. The Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) has sanctioned the event that was rebranded The Jefford Classic Mile. The programme will feature six categories and twelve male and female one-mile races.
