O'brien Frith and Shanieke Watson won the second annual LIME Foundation 'Run for the Children' in Portmore, which had an 80 per cent increase in participation over last year. The male winner, Frith, posted 20:07, while female winner Watson clocked 24:05.

Rohan Gordon,34, and Paula Sinclair,40, took the top spots in the Walk category with times of 36:02 (male) and 41:49 (female).

The fundraising fitness event with an extra 'K', attracted near 1600 runners and walkers to a new venue in the Sunshine City - the Fort Clarence Beach.

Errol Miller, executive chairman of the LIME Foundation, is already anticipating even stronger growth next year.

"I really believe this event will continue to grow from strength to strength, and this is evidenced by the overwhelming support we have gotten this year. We started out unsure of how a run in Portmore would play out, and we are indeed pleased at the strides we have made so far," Miller said.
