Sports people are preparing to support the Stride Against Cancer next week, an event that always gets a massive turn out. It is organised by the Cayman Islands Cancer Society and is the organisation’s largest fundraising event. The funds raised help finance the society’s many programmes and activities.
It is in two venues on Sunday 29 January. Stride Against Cancer in George Town starts and ends at the Public Beach on West Bay Road. The long course is half marathon length of 13.1 miles and starts at 6am. The short course is 6.5 miles and starts at 7am.
Stride Against Cancer in North Side starts at 7am at the North Side Boat Launch and ends at The Kaibo, a distance of around six miles. Transportation back to the start in Old Man Bay will be provided.
Cancer touches everyone. What makes Stride Against Cancer different from other charity walk/run events is the connection that participants and volunteers feel with each other and with the cause.
There are over 1,300 participants and more than 100 volunteers at the two venues. Both events are non-competitive.
Additionally, school children all around the island Stride Against Cancer within their schools on the Friday before the main Stride events.
The event attracts people of all ages and from all walks of life and truly reflects the diversity of the Caymanian community. It is a family event with people
coming together united in the common goal of striding against cancer.
