Two reasons to Visit Grand Cayman this year 1 Cayman Islands Marathon December 8, 2019 You can run just about anywhere in the world, but wouldn’t you prefer to run on a safe, beautiful Caribbean island, surrounded by tropical flora and fauna, charming homes flawlessly landscaped and magnificent views of the sea? If so, then check out the Cayman Islands Marathon! The Intertrust Cayman Islands Marathon takes place on Sunday, 8 December 2019. The race consists of a full marathon, half marathon, four- person relay and a Kids Fun Run. Now in its 17th year, the event has grown from humble beginnings of less than 100 participants the first year to almost 1,700 participants across the four events in 2018. The Cayman Islands Marathon has everything you want in a race. It’s well organised, fun and friendly, just some of the reasons why seasoned runners return every year to ‘#RunCayman’. The flat and fast course is IAAF-sanctioned, and a Boston Marathon qualifier. Race results are available online immediately and there is a great finish line party with free beer and massages. Walkers are welcome to participate in the half marathon event and all participants receive an official 2019 Dri-Fit tech shirt or tank top and a commemorative finisher’s medal.
