The annual KFC Fitness Challenge, set for Sunday, March 23, at the National Park in Georgetown, will feature a new and highly anticipated Joint-Services category, pitting servicemen and women from Guyana’s disciplined forces against each other.
This year’s event, promising a day of intense physical competition, has been expanded to include a “high-energy face-off” between personnel from the military, police, and emergency services, adding a unique dimension to the already popular challenge.
Coordinator Noshavayah King described the event as “more than just a competition; it is a movement towards a stronger and healthier Guyana.”
The 2025 edition will also feature male and female team categories, showcasing skill, agility, resilience, and a Masters (over 35) category, demonstrating that “fitness has no age limit.”
“We are thrilled to introduce the Joint-Services category this year,” King stated, “This will be a fantastic display of the fitness and dedication of our disciplined services.”
Over G$2 million in prizes will be up for grabs, with King promising “bigger and better action” than ever.
Teams can win up to GY$600,000, with prizes awarded for individual event wins and podium finishes.
