Cayman Islands Marathon
The Cayman Islands Marathon will be held Dec. 6. Employees from the broadcasting company dms Broadcasting will take part in the four-person relay team category. They are encouraging other companies on the island to enter corporate teams as well to make the challenge even greater.
106.1 KISS FM has been the official radio station for the Cayman Marathon since 2006 and each year dms has entered a KISS team. This year the “Kiss n Run” team hopes to improve on its fourth place finish in the 2008 race and earn a spot on the awards stage while newbie team “Kiss n Tell” just wants to finish respectably.
“We’re all novice runners really but our goal is to get out there as a team, have lots of fun, improve our health along the way if possible and finish well,” says Richard Harrison who has competed as a member of Team “Kiss n Run” for the past three years.
Registration for the 2009 Cayman Islands Marathon, Half Marathon, Team Relay and Kids Fun Run is open online at CaymanIslandsMarathon.com. Walk-in registration can also be done at the Kelly-Holding office.
