CORRECTION

BAHAMAS HALF

MARATHON

IT was incorrectly stated that Kevin Taylor was the founder of the Bahamas Half Marathon. That is incorrect. The founder is in fact Shavonne Blades. Additionally, Taylor was quoted in The Tribune on Monday, November 23, when in fact it should have been Charles Johnson, one of the organisers.

The Tribune apologises to all of the parties concerned.
