Queen's Baton Relay Route - Friday, 23 April 2010

For those wanting to know the route the Queen's Baton Relay will take a layout of the route was published in the local newspapers today.  In the Post Courier it is a full page layout on page 17 and tomorrow the layout will be on page 22.

The route will be a huge circle from Independence Hill at about 9:00 am, into town via 2-mile hill then through Hohola via the freeway to finally complete its PNG journey at the Sir John Guise Stadium.  The whole event is expected to take approximately three hours.

According to organisers they are expecting approximately 70 - 76 runners from the various sports and political hierarchies to participate so it should be an interesting turn out tomorrow.  If you can't take the morning off, at least open the office window and show your support.

For Netball, Mona-Lisa Leka will start her leg outside the B-Mobile entrance and run toward 4-mile.  Raka Nope will start her leg at the Badili Interoil service station and Lua Rikis will receive the baton at Koki Point along Healley Parade.  Emily Taule, President of the PNGNF will run her leg at the Ela Beach where the SDA Church and will run with Graham Osborn for thier section toward town.

From there the baton is relayed through the main CBD along the Poreporena Freeway into Hohola and onto the Sir John Guise Stadium.

Be sure to get a copy of the Post Courier but if your not able to a copy of the route is provided for your reference.
