A year after having to call off the event due to weather and conflict of other events Annual Lindo’s to Lindo’s Road Races will take place on Sunday, March 3rd.
The Lindo’s to Lindo’s is intended to be a fun way to get the public outside with friends and family and to raise awareness of diabetes in Bermuda and funds for the Bermuda Diabetes Association.
This year, the Bermuda Diabetes Association is celebrating their 40th year of providing support for those with diabetes and working with the public on diabetes prevention.
Participants will take the usual route between Lindo’s Family Foods in Warwick and Lindo’s Market in Devonshire, along South Road and Middle Road for a 10-kilometre Run or a 4-mile Walk.
In addition to raising money for a good cause, entrants will also secure a goodie bag if they are amongst the first 1,000 participants to register. There are also prizes on offer for those who raise funds for the Bermuda Diabetes Association and put in the best times. Every participant who raises $100 or more in pledges will be entered in a draw to win a pair of round-trip tickets generously provided by JetBlue.
Zach Moniz, Lindo’s Family Foods Manager, said, “At Lindo’s we make it our mission to give Bermudians access to fresh, delicious and healthy foods and we want to encourage people to live their life to the fullest by making healthy life choices.
“We are proud to support the incredibly valuable work that the Bermuda Diabetes Association does for Bermuda. We hope that people take this opportunity to get out into the fresh air on Sunday morning with their loved ones and celebrate their health.”
Sara Bosch de Noya, Diabetes Educator, at the Bermuda Diabetes Association, said: “We are proud to continue our partnership with Lindo’s for this year’s Lindo’s to Lindo’s and very grateful for their continued support. While we are pleased to be celebrating 40 years of helping the public, we recognize there is much work to be done. With the funds raised by the annual Lindo’s to Lindo’s, one of our biggest fundraisers, we are closer than ever to opening our dedicated Diabetes Centre to provide even more resources and services for those with diabetes in the community.”
There will be awards for the first male and female finishers of Italian descent, in memory of Aldo Balia.
