SUSAN G KOMEN RACE FOR THE CURE RESULTS HERE

A husband and wife duo emerged as the major story-line Sunday morning as Sunshine Insurance’s Race Weekend concluded with the fifth edition of Marathon Bahamas.

Justin and Melissa Gilette crossed the finish line at Junkanoo Beach as the top overall male and female respectively in the 26.2-mile distance.

Saturday morning featured the The Susan G Komen Bahamas Race for the Cure 5K. Hundreds of runners and walkers took to the route which began at Montagu Beach and finished at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island.

Sunshine Insurance (Agents & Brokers) Ltd, with MARSH, its international affiliate, in its role as the lead sponsor and organiser for Marathon Bahamas, has fostered a strategic partnership between Marathon Bahamas and Susan G Komen for the Cure, the global leader of the breast cancer movement and the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists - a partnership that could significantly impact the health of Bahamians, especially in the areas of breast cancer and other women’s health issues.

It is an annual event, not only to raise money for the beneficiaries but also to bring attention to the dreaded disease that affect so many of our Bahamian women.

All the money raised by the Race for the Cure will remain in the Bahamas to fund breast cancer and women’s health programmes.
