The OWTU Butler Classic is one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most meaningful and significant Labour Day sporting events, hosted by the Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union (OWTU) in honour of labour pioneer Tubal Uriah Butler.

Traditionally held on Labour Day morning, after a seven-year hiatus, the wait is over! The Return is finally here. The event brings together competitive athletes, recreational runners, walkers, and families in a celebration of endurance, unity, and working-class pride.

🗓️ EVENT DETAILS

• Date: Friday, 19 June 2026 (Labour Day)
• Route: San Fernando to Fyzabad (Different Starting Points for Each Race), but same finish line.

Featuring a 20K Run, 20K Race Walk, 5K Fun Run and a 0.7K Children’s Race (12 and Under), the Butler Classic blends athletic excellence with historical significance. More than just a race, it commemorates Butler’s contribution to the labour movement in Trinidad and Tobago and reflects the OWTU’s continued commitment to community engagement, youth development, and national solidarity.
