The 2023 Kids Fun Run takes place on Sunday, 3 December at approximately 10:30am. This event is
sponsored by Milo and the Cayman Islands Government's Ministry of Youth, Sports, Culture and
Heritage and is open to kids ages 5 to 11 years old.
Registration
Registration for students in the Cayman Islands is FREE, and students can register through their
schools or online. Non-Cayman students can register online for US$12.50. Registration includes a
t-shirt, runner bib and a medal at the finish line.
Packet Pick Up
All kids must pick up their race packages on SATURDAY, 2 December between 9am and 5pm at the
Westin Resort. In addition, kids can register at Packet Pick Up IF SPACE IS STILL AVAILABLE.
Race packages include an event t-shirt and the bib that the runner will wear during the race. If
the race package is not picked up, there is no guarantee that the runner will get a t-shirt on
race day.
The Course
The Kids Fun Run starts at the Government Administration Building on Elgin Avenue and ends on
Warwick Drive behind Bayshore Mall. It is approximately half a mile. Participants will run from
the Government Administration Building and turn left onto Shedden Road passing Royal Bank and
KFC and then turning left by the National Museum and running up Seafarers Way to the Hard Rock
Cafe. This is where the adults completing the marathon, half marathon and team relay also end
their races.
Kids Marathon Log
Introduced in 2012, the Kids Marathon log allows kids participating in the Kids Fun Run to keep a
record of their activity leading up to the Kids Fun Run. The goal is to have completed a full
marathon (26.2 miles) at the end of the Kids Fun Run in December. The first 25.5 miles of the
marathon can be achieved through running, walking, swimming, and other sporting activities, and
kids can have their parents or another adult sign their log verifying that they have completed
each mile. After completing the 0.7-mile Kids Fun Run and crossing the finish line on 3
December, successful participants can boast that they have officially completed a marathon. In
addition, they can enter their logs in a draw for a prize courtesy of Kids Fun Run sponsor Milo.

Race Day
Kids should be at the start line NO LATER THAN 10:15AM in order to have an on-time start. Please
note that each child MUST be wearing a bib in order to run.
Kids will be separated into three groups according to age. To ensure as safe a run as possible,
the oldest kids will start first and the youngest will go last.
Awards and Photos
There is no timing or race results for the kids’ event as it is a fun run. However, those
children that completed their running logs will have their names put into a draw for the chance
to win a prize from Milo. Prize drawings will be done the next day and all winners will be
contacted to collect any prizes they have won from the marathon office.
Marathon-Photos is our official photographer and will have photos of all runners taking part in
the event. You will be able to search for photos of your child by bib number within a day or two
after the event. The link to photos will be posted on social media and this site.
Parking
Parents can park in the Government Administration Building's parking lot, Cricket Square, Cayman
National or anywhere along Elgin Avenue that is NOT on the race route. Parents can collect their
children behind Bayshore Mall on the Goring Avenue side.
