More than 300 tourists and 100 locals, including teams from St Leonard’s Boys’, Grantley Adams Memorial and St George Secondary schools, took part in yesterday’s Cruise to Run Barbados 5K which was held on the Spring Garden Highway.
Barbadian triathlete Jason Wilson warmed up for next month’s international triathlon at Brandons with a blistering 16:21.8 winning finish. The first female home was Sarah-Anne Brantt of Barbados in a time of 18.29.9.
Acting Minister of Tourism Senator Haynesley Benn started the event.
The cool conditions swiftly transformed into a postcard setting with sweltering heat.
However, the life of the beach proved to be the pint sized Sarah Reinertsen. Wearing a single blade runner for her missing left leg, Reinertsen completed the 5k in the fastest time she had ever run.
