Nassau, Bahamas - The Urban Renewal Commission in conjunction with the Urban Renewal Foundation and BTC proudly presents its 2016 “Love Games” Track & Field Meet.
The Urban Renewal Commission in conjunction with the Urban Renewal Foundation and BTC proudly presents its first annual “Love Games” Track & Field Meet, which will take place on Saturday, 13th February, 2016 at the Thomas A. Robinson Stadium from 9:00am - 8:00pm.
The Urban Renewal Commission’s Sporting League under the direction of Coordinator Wilton Russell Jr. has created an event aimed at providing
opportunities for persons from the inner city to participate in a nationally recognized sporting initiative.
Each of the nine Urban Renewal Centers will be represented by residences who live within their respective communities.
The goal of the Urban Renewal Sporting League is to unite communities through sports, develop talents of youth of our nation and provide opportunities for them to excel. The “Love Games” Track and Field Meet is the perfect catalyst to accomplish this objective.
With over 1,000 participants set to compete in this epic undertaking, the track and field meet will be one of most exciting and memorable events of Urban Renewal to date.
