SO FAR, so good.
Barbados’ premier road race festival seems on course for a great run.

Marketing director for race coordinators Islands Races, Kristina Evelyn, sounded positive about those initial figures ahead of tonight’s start to the series in St Lawrence Gap with the Fun Mile. 
“We’re not sure of the exact numbers right now because we extended the registration deadline by one extra day from Tuesday to Wednesday, but we’re very pleased with the entries and very enthusiastic about the foreign interest we’re getting,” said Evelyn in a telephone interview with WEEKEND SPORT.
