135 miles – about six times the length of Grand Cayman. An unfathomable distance to travel by foot, for most.

Now that everyone has had a chance to recover from the Cayman Islands Marathon in December, it is time to set sights a little higher … or longer, as such.

Kerri Kanuga met her goal of completing a 100-mile run in under 24 hours at the Keys100 Ultramarathon in Key West, Florida, last weekend.

Having run six marathons worldwide and raised more than $1 million for Cayman HospiceCare in 2014, Derek Haines is now setting his sights even higher: He’ll climb three mountains in Bolivia and run two marathons this year in his effort to raise at least another $1 million for Have a Heart Cayman Islands.
