Irish Jog goes totally green again to help good causes

Cayman’s biggest mass sports participation event is only a few weeks away.

The 20th annual St. Patrick’s Day 5K Irish Jog is set for Friday 16 March at 5.30pm at Grand Cayman Beach Suites.

The Jog, co-sponsored each year by Butterfield Bank and Grand Cayman Beach Suites, has become Cayman’s most anticipated fun run/walk, attracting over 1,000 local and overseas participants from the serious runners to the walkers pushing baby strollers.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the jog and has truly become a Caymanian tradition. All proceeds raised from the event each year are donated to a local charity in support of worthy causes such as the arts, sports, health, community and education.

Participants will receive a t-shirt and have the chance to win one of several fabulous spot prizes awarded on a draw basis. Prizes include sunset sails, dinners for two and spa services. There will even be a prize for the participant with the oldest Irish Jog t-shirt. And as always there will be free hats, face stickers, wigs and other fun wear for everyone. Complimentary refreshments will be available after the event.
