Palm Beach — Colleagues from the Radisson Aruba Resort Casino & Spa participated in a challenging road race, just recently. The winner, Manuel Reyes, completed the trail in 21 minutes 56 seconds, with resort General Manager Mark Frances, coming in as 1st finalist at 25.24, followed by Juan Campuzano, as 2nd finalist at 26.33, Dolph Paesch, as 3rd finalist at 28.17 and Mike Croes, as 4th finalist at 29.17.
The race signaled the beginning of the second year challenge initiated by athletic resort General Manager Mark Lyttleton Frances who encouraged and coaxed members of the executive committee and staffers to get fit and trim and adhere to a healthy life-style, with daily exercise, since the beginning of 2013. Last year the group ran a couple of races, including one for charity in December. This year, with the Alto Vista loop, their program has just begun, as additional GM challenges are planned for 2014, including an international one, in December, with runners from different Radisson properties around the globe.
The route, says Frances, was a tough this time, and I am very proud of each colleague who faced the challenge head on, not giving up after realizing how strenuous it would be. Thank you for your participation, I saw real camaraderie amongst runners, and I am very pleased with the results.
