The Skyport Magic Mile is set to take place after being approved for a Large Group Exemption.
The Minister of Youth, Culture, and Sport considers that Wayne Raynor of the Bermuda Pacers Track Club is justifying an exemption from the prohibition in regulation 5(5) of the Public Health (Covid-19 Emergency Powers) (Phased Re-opening) Regulations 2021 on groups of more than 100 persons assembling;
Now, therefore, the Minister grants an exemption under regulation 5(5) of those Regulations to Wayne Raynor of the Bermuda Pacers Track Club and 3 Riviera Road Southampton SN03, permitting a gathering of 920 persons to assemble for the purposes of the Skyport Magic Mile at the National Sports Center South Field and 65 Robert’s Avenue Devonshire DV01 on:
March 5th, 2022 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Or, in the event of inclement weather only, on March 19th, 2022 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
