It will begin at 5:30 a.m. at the BDF???s Headquarters at St. Ann???s Fort, and participants will run and walk to Brandon???s Beach, St. Michael, where kayak races and tug o???war, football and volleyball competitions will follow.

Members of the public are encouraged to assemble at the BDF at 5:00 a.m. and join the soldiers in the Day Run and the other activities.

CISM, which was founded in 1948, organises sports for the armed forces of its 133 member countries. The goal of the Council is to contribute to world peace by uniting armed forces through sports and the Day Run is the most important event it has created.

This Day Run brings sporting communities, including sports federations, Olympic Committees and other international institutions, in contact with armed forces and Ministries of Defence.

The BDF has participated in the worldwide celebration of the CISM Day Run annually since 2010.
