Though the usual fanfare associated with the Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run might be scaled down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced organisers to take the virtual route, a selected few will be fortunate enough to participate in an invitational run.
Having showed its creative arm with numerous innovations in recent times, it comes as no surprise that Sagicor has once again raised the bar for this year’s 23rd staging, staying true to its reputation as one of, if not the Caribbean’s premier road-running events.
While the virtual component will be opened to all, once registered, the special Sigma Run Invitational will be contested by 100 participants — 50 males and 50 females — who have impressed organisers over the past three editions.
However, in order to land an invite for the Invitational Race, scheduled for February 21 in New Kingston, individuals must register by January 31.
On the other hand, the virtual run, which will see participants running in their own space and submitting their times, will take place February 12-21.
Alysia White, assistant vice-president and head of group marketing at Sagicor Group Jamaica, shared that this move by Sagicor is to ensure compliance with safety regulations and protocols that have been put in place by the Ministry of Health and Wellness to limit the spread of the infectious virus.
