The Boyce/Jefford Relay Festival and Family Fun Day which was scheduled to be staged yesterday at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary, was postponed due to the inclement weather.
According to one of the event’s organizers, Edison Jefford, the fixture will now run off this Sunday (May 7) at the same venue.
When the day comes, patrons will have a chance to win numerous gate prizes.
Aside from the relay events which is the main attraction, the day’s activities will be complemented with two cycle races, domino competitions and football and cricket matches.
This year event will see the addition of a 4x200m and 4x400m mixed relays, which will involve teams comprising two male and two female each. These two events will add to the other eight events already on the card of the annual event.
The sum of $25,000 will go to winning team, $15,000 for the first runners-up and $10,000 for third place.
The cycle races will also carry prizes of $50,000 each with the same breakdown. The two races will be a male Devil Takes The Hindmost and a Mountain Bike event.
Elsewhere on the bill, there will be a “Kid Zone” with bouncy castles, trampolines, face painting and other attractions.
Four gate prizes from $20,000 in cash and household items will also be up for grabs.
In total, there will be in excess of $1M to be won.
