BAHAMIANS turned out in impressive numbers on Saturday and Sunday to take part in the National Fun Run/Walk in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Independence.
The event was co-ordinated by the One Bahamas organisation in conjunction with the Independence Commission.
According to One Bahamas chairman, former Governor General Sir Orville Turnquest, the aim of the event was to promote the importance of maintaining proper physical conditioning.
“Our human resource is the most important resource in the country,” he said.
“For us to function as a nation, due care must be given to the wellbeing of our bodies.
“Therefore we endorse very much this proposed walk. Fostering anything done for national unity is the hallmark of One Bahamas.
“One Bahamas believes that for family and friends to participate collectively is important therefore we encourage everyone residing in New Providence to participate.”
No registration fee was required and persons of all ages were invited to attend.
