MOURANT HLSCC COLLEGE CLASSIC RACE SERIES KICKS OFF ITS VIRGIN GORDA LEG

The H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) is being lauded over the Virgin Gorda leg of the 27th Mourant HLSCC College Classic Race Series on Saturday, 1 October.

The race had a tremendous kick off with over forty participants and an exciting overall male and female win by siblings Noah and Eva Fox- making it the first time in the history of the series that siblings have captured overall wins in the same race.

Sixteen-year-old, Noah Fox led the field overall in a time of 13 minutes 59.92, while his 12 year old sister Eva, captured the top female position in 17 minutes 05.76.

HLSCC teamed up with the Valley Sound Lions Club and the Road Runners Track and Field and Cross Country Club during Race 1, which also served as a race in support of both Dementia Awareness

and Breast Cancer Awareness.

The series will continue with its return to Paraquita Bay on Saturday, 8October. This time the College will team up with the BVI Cancer Society and First Caribbean International Bank (FCIB) in support of their “Walk for the Cure”.

Persons can pre-register for the race through the BVI Cancer Society or FCIB and can participate in either Road Town or Paraquita Bay at the specified times for each location.

The main sponsor of the HLSCC Race Series is Mourant, with Blu Water providing water at all races. The series continues to be a green initiative as participants are asked to bring their own water bottle, while distributing of water otherwise is in reusable cups instead of disposable plastic bottles.
