Sure, you could 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, with magnificent views of the sea? Well, come run with us in the Cayman Islands Marathon!

For any information not below please see our FAQ Page.

Race Date & Time
The Cayman Islands Marathon, Half-Marathon and 4-Person Relay all begin at 5AM on Sunday, 7 December 2008. The Kids Fun Run begins at 9:30am.

The Marathon course is a looped one.  Walkers are welcome to walk the half marathon as the course will be open for six (6) hours. 

The relay teams are made up of four (4) persons, and can be co-ed.  Each team member runs approximately 6.5 miles.  One ChampionChip is issued to each team, and each team member wears that chip when he/she runs his/her leg.  There will be shuttles to take runners on the relay teams between the Start/Finish line and the Turnaround Point where the chips are exchanged. 

The race begins and ends in front of Breezes by the Bay Restaurant in the beautiful Waterfront area of George Town. Make sure you stay around for the Breezes finishers party!

Future Date

Weather
The Cayman Islands is a warm weather destination year-round but we selected one of the cooler days of the year for you to come and run with us. Expect the start line temperature to be in the low 70s meandering into the higher 70's by the end of the race.

Race Timing
The Cayman Islands Marathon uses the ChampionChip timing system. All participants who do not own a Yellow ChampionChip will receive a Black ChampionChip in their race packet distributed at Registration Session on Saturday, 1 December. If the participant owns his/her own ChampionChip and will be using it in the Cayman Islands Marathon, the number will need to be provided in the application. Participants who do not own a ChampionChip and will be using a Black ChampionChip will need to return it after the race. A $35 charge will be assessed if the ChampionChip is not returned. Participants MUST wear their ChampionChip.  No chip, No Time.
