- Half marathon and four-person relay: start at 5am
- Kids’ fun run: also on the programme, so the whole family can take part
See the Cayman Islands Marathon event page for entries and the latest race information.
The course
The AIMS-certified course is flat and fast, following the coast through South Sound and Prospect and finishing at Breezes By The Bay in George Town. The pre-dawn start means you run the early miles in the cool of the night and watch the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea. Pace yourself: the heat and humidity build quickly after sunrise.
Why stay at Sea Breeze
After the race, there’s no better recovery than a swim in the calm waters of Seven Mile Beach. Sea Breeze’s four-bedroom condos sleep up to 10, ideal for a relay team or a group travelling together. Each has a fully equipped kitchen for pre-race fuelling, plus a fitness room and oceanfront infinity pool and hot tub on site.
