“Timing is supplied by Bermuda Timing Systems and sign up is bng.bm/run-for-the-arts or here.
“The BNG Run for the Arts 5K features a competitive run along with a fun run/walk and is open to those who consider themselves serious athletes and those who don’t. Starting from the Parsons Road Park basketball courts, take in the sights and sounds of northeast Hamilton, Palmetto Road, Happy Valley, and finish in front of the community playground.
“This is not just a race, but a community endeavour. Participants will help raise funds for the arts, including the installation of three large scale murals in northeast Hamilton as part of a new vibrant public art programme in the area.
