The Jamaica Moves Corporate Challenge, recently took a trip off the beaten track and through the orchards of Tru-Juice in Bog Walk, St Catherine, for the Tru-Juice Cross Country 5K Run/Walk and 20K Cycle.
The event, which was the second of five in the challenge, saw the participation of teams from 15 local businesses competing to garner well-needed points to be named the Corporate Challenge winners for 2019.
The event, which began with a 30-minute warm-up session at 6:30 a.m., saw challengers and patrons being treated to some refreshingly cool weather and scenic views of the expanse of the orchard which would serve as their route. Powered by Running Events Jamaica, the races in the challenge, much like the one at Tru-Juice, are being held to encourage companies and their staff to become active and lead healthier lifestyles, with the added bonus of experiences to foster family bonding.
Leading the Jamaica Moves team was Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Christopher Tufton. Tufton, who participated in the 5K run and 20K cycle, expressed his joy in not only seeing an excellent turnout from the challengers, but seeing the participation of persons from all walks of life.
