Cleveland Forde out of today’s 10 K

Top distance runner Cleveland Forde will be missing when the cream of the nation’s distance athletes compete with their South American and Caribbean counterparts today in the second leg of the IAAF South American 10km Classic.

Winner of the first leg in Suriname on October 30, Cleveland Forde, has withdrawn from the men’s division due to an Achilles tendon injury, while Euleen Josiah-Tanner will be looking to register back-to-back victories in the ladies division before the annual event concludes in Panama.
