Photos: PartnerRe Women’s 5K Run & Walk
The PartnerRe Women’s 5K Run and Walk took place on Sunday morning [Oct 5], with hundreds of women taking part in the always popular event. Ashley Estwanik won the adult 5K race, Victoria Fiddick finished second, and Deon Breary finished third.
One of the few all female events on Bermuda’s sporting calendar, it includes a 5K race for women, as well as a 5K walk and a 2K run for girls under 15. The goal is female fitness, health, safety, and self-esteem, with all proceeds going annually to a cause that promotes these values.
Since 1998, the PartnerRe Women’s 5K Run and Walk has raised more than $390,000 for causes in Bermuda, including programmes to fight heart disease, confront physical abuse, support rape victims, educate teenagers, combat breast cancer, and fund equipment and initiatives supporting the treatment of women’s health.
2014 marks 17 years of support for women’s causes in Bermuda, and this year all entry fee proceeds, matched by title sponsor PartnerRe Ltd, will go directly to the Bermuda Diabetes Association’s Gestational Diabetes Project. You can view the results and twenty minutes of video from the race here.
