Former President of Guyana, Janet Jagan, will be remembered on Sunday when national cycling coach Hassan Mohamed stages a 50-mile road race on the West Demerara roadways.
The race is being coordinated by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s Goed Fortuin group and is being sponsored by Caricom Cement Inc.
The race will commence from Wales Police Station at 08:00h, proceed to Bushy Park on the East Bank of Essequibo, before returning to the Demerara Harbour Bridge, West Bank of Demerara, for the finish.
The veterans, mountain bikers and females will turn at Uitvlugt Community Centre on the upward journey and finish at the Harbour Bridge.
The first six finishers in the open category; first three juniors, veterans, mountain bikers and females and first veteran over-60 cyclist will all receive prizes. Eight prime prizes will also be at stake during the course of the race.
The late Janet Jagan was Guyana’s sixth president, holding the post from December 1997 to August 1999.
