Monday, November 3, 2014. AARON HUMES Reporting:  Health and Fitness Club 2000, formerly Body 2000, hosted a regular national athletics meet at the Marion Jones Sporting Complex in Belize City in conjunction with the Rotary Sunrise Club of Belize this past Saturday.

Boasting the only synthetic track in the country, the still-incomplete stadium is being used for training and meets like this one.

Event coordinator Kandice Morrison says athletes can use Saturday’s activity to stay in shape for bigger events down the road.
