Never Walk Alone

ORANJESTAD- This upcom-
ing Sunday June 10th 2018
the Aruba Guardian Group
is holding it’s famous “My
Guardian Group Walk &
Run Event” which will con-
sist of two separate walk/
run distances. There will be
a 6km walk/run and a more
challenging 10km walk/run
for those who are up for the
challenge. This year it’s the
6th time that the Guardian
Group organizes this suc-
cessful event and it only
get bigger with the years.
This event is not only held
on the island of Aruba but
also on the other islands
close to us like Curaçao
and Bonaire.

Participants got the chance
to do the signup process
online and pay for the race
on the 5th and 6th of June
at the Guardian Group
Fatum Aruba and at the
same time pickup their bib
and shirt which was a total
success. This year the event
got sold out really fast with
a total of 2000 participants.
So expect many fellow run-
ners and walkers on the
road this Sunday. The races
will start at 6:00 am on race
day so we advise everyone
to be on time to stretch
and warm-up but also to
get a good parking space
and get some pre-run pic-
tures. We advise all drivers
to take precaution with the
athletes on the road par-
ticipating this morning to
avoid any incidents.

The goal of this event is to
bring the whole commu-
nity of Aruba together for
a good and healthy cause.
It is proven that running or
walking at least 30 minutes
daily can help you develop
physical strength, ward off
disease and enhance gen-
eral wellness, so what bet-
ter than exercising while
having fun? We advise all
participants to drink plenty
of water days before the
race but also during the
race to keep the body hy-
drated. So let us all come
together this Sunday morn-
ing to enjoy an amazing
walk/run event or simply to
support your favorite run-
ner/walker. q
