The Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, is inviting residents to put their endurance to the test during the Poppy Run: Last Man Standing Socarobics Monthly Challenge later this month.

The fitness challenge is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 22, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Participants will compete in a socarobics endurance challenge designed to test stamina, with the last competitor remaining declared the winner. Organizers say a prize will be awarded to the champion.

Admission is EC$10 for adults and EC$5 for children under 12.

The event forms part of activities leading up to the annual Poppy Run, with organizers encouraging members of the public to come prepared to exercise, stay active and enjoy an evening of fitness.

The ABDF and the Ministry of Health are urging residents of all fitness levels to take part and support the initiative promoting health, wellness and community engagement.
