Mourant HLSCC College Classic Race Series is back in full swing

BVI Road Runners

With over 110 participants, the Mourant HLSCC College Classic Series kicked off on Saturday, with the first of the races at the Paraquita Bay campus. Now in its 23rd year, it is anticipated that the entire series both on Tortola and Virgin Gorda, will be completed in 2018 despite the single race that was held post Hurricane Irma in November 2017.

Race Director Stephanie Russ Penn said that she is excited to have this wonderful community event back in full swing and she looks forward to the increased participation as the public schools resume and the word continues to spread.

For the first time, the series has gone green, an initiative encouraged by the law firm Mourant, the main sponsor of the series since 2016. Participants are asked to bring their own water bottle, while distributing of water otherwise is in reusable cups instead of disposable plastic bottles.

Leading the One Mile (U9 & U11) Boys and Girls Division after Race 1, are Charlie Potgieter and Taryn Augustine respectively. Clifton Stuiken and Katrina Lindsay, were the respective overall men and women open 2 mile winners. Stuiken, who ran 10 minutes 49.62 seconds, is within striking distance of Lyndell Roberts’ course record of 10:45.3, set in November 1997.

In the Cross Country Division, Cedar School Primary and Secondary, The Cedar School Parents and Teachers Team and Rotary of Tortola are the front runners in their respective divisions.

The Series heads over Virgin Gorda this Saturday 22 September. Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. at the HLSCC Virgin Gorda Centre and race start at 7:00 a.m. For more information about the race series, please contact Mrs. Russ Penn @ 496-7155 or sruss@hlscc.edu.vg
