This year's celebration will commence from Saturday 28th April 2012 Volleyball competitions as a prelude to the May Day Mass Sports. The May Day Mass Sports will show case the traditional track and field events with fun games in the following areas:
Sprint Runs, Women and Men; Sack Race, Men; 60 meter 3-Legged Race, Women; Team Relays, Women and Men; Musical Chairs, Women and Men; Tug of War, Women and Men; Creasy Pole, Women and Men; Pillow Fight, Men; 60m Potato Race, Women; Cabinet Ministers' Walk Race and Heads of Institutions Walk Race.
