The Miss World Cayman Islands Organization (MWCI) invites the community to take part in the EnviroWalk 2022 5K Walk/Run on Sunday, 26 June, from 6:30-9am along Safehaven Drive.

EnviroWalk is an annual fundraising event for the MWCI pageant and for Girl Power Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation that trains and mentors young women between the ages of 15 and 27, free of charge. Each year, part proceeds from the walk/run are donated to a local group working to help bring awareness of – and protection for – the environment.

“In 2019, MWCI donated $500 to Plastic Free Cayman and in 2020, $500 was donated to the Protect our Future organisation,” said Pamela Ebanks-Small, director of MWCI. “The 2021 EnviroWalk was skipped due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we are very excited that our annual fundraiser is back on the calendar, and, more importantly, we are thrilled to play our part in bringing more awareness to our environment.”

There will be a 10-minute warm-up session led by MWCI’s fitness sponsor F45 just before the 5K Walk/Run begins. Current Miss World Cayman Islands Rashana Hydes and event supporter Governor Martyn Roper will be leading the event. They will both run the 5K course as a friendly competition. Once all have crossed the finish line, participants are welcome to meet and greet the 2022 MWCI contestants.

Registration fee is $25 for adults and $15 for children (under 12). Participants can sign up online at www.ticketsplus.ky/en/event/envirowalk. There are lots of raffle prizes to be won and the first 100 participants to register will get a free T-shirt. Company or group discounts can be made for 10 or more participants.
