More than 350 young athletes from five Regions are expected to compete in the second annual ARC Youth Relay Festival today at the Police Ground, Eve Leary, Georgetown.
Sprinters and middle-distance runners will represent Regions Three, Four, Five, Six, and 10. Boys and girls will compete across several age groups in the 4×100m, 4×200m and 4×400m relays, with mixed relays and sprint medleys also on the programme.
The senior relays will feature a matchup between the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Defence Force. A memorial distance race will honour the late Kelvin Johnson for his contribution to distance running in Guyana.
A Record Chance Inc (ARC), founded by Guyana’s national indoor 400m record holder Arinze Chance, organises the festival. The meet gives young athletes more opportunities to compete while encouraging teamwork, regional pride and community involvement. ARC also supports young athletes through mentorship and sports development programmes.
Guyanese entertainer cKush will perform live, with music from MixMaster Tony, DJ Darry and Warren. The festival will also feature a children’s entertainment area, food and drink vendors, interactive activities, giveaways and gate prizes. Organisers are encouraging spectators to wear their regional colours.
General admission is $1000, and a family pass for five costs $4000. VIP tickets cost $5000, while all-inclusive VIP tickets cost $10,000.
Tickets are available through the PotSalt Media App and at Space Gym, Andrew’s Supermarket, Poonai’s Pharmacy and TooBadTooBougie Boutique in Berbice, and Yousuf Top Up Man and Right Care Pharmacy on Republic Avenue in Linden.
