The Berbice Highway will be a battlefield for cyclists on Sunday, March 29, when the Annual Jagan Memorial Cycle Race pedals off.
The race will commence at Freedom House, New Amsterdam, and proceed to Number 51 Village. It will have a grand finish at Babu Jaan, Corentyne, Berbice.
Prizes will be awarded for the top six finishers in the Senior/ Open category. The Veteran Open will see the top four finishers being rewarded, while in the Veterans over-50 category, the first three finishers will be rewarded. The over-50 riders will finish at Babu John after the Freedom House start.
The top three juniors and the top three ladies will also earn awards on the day. The ladies will also finish at Babu John on the upward journey.
Ten sprint prizes will be up for grabs along the route, which promises to be a steamy highway. In last year’s race, Briton John claimed victory. John crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 32 minutes, and 37 seconds (2:32:37).
The race in 2025 commenced outside Freedom House in New Amsterdam and took cyclists along the Corentyne.
Its turnaround point was Number 63 Village, and it concluded at Babu John, Port Mourant.
Phillip Clark secured second place, followed by Jamal John in third. Christopher Griffith, Sequn Sandy, and Alexander Leung completed the top six in last year’s successful event.
The race will pedal off at 8:30h local time.
