Runners wanted for local vertical challenge

(CNS): Runners with a head for heights are wanted for this weekend for the 4th Annual Observation Tower Run held at Camana bay in partnership with Special Olympics Cayman Islands (SOCI). The early morning three mile fun run and is to raise money for the local non-profit sports training programme. Taking inspiration from tower runs around the world such as the Empire State Building Run Up in New York and CN Tower Climb in Toronto this beginner-friendly interpretation gives both Cayman’s best and novice athletes a chance to the local landmark. The vertical challenge up and down the 30-feet or 231 steps to the top of tower takes place at 7am on Saturday.

The SOCI is funded mostly via donations and fundraising activities such as this tower run and all are welcome to take part. The entry fee is CI$25 for adults and CI$15 for 15 years which includes a participant t-shirt, official race timing and post-race refreshments. All proceeds will benefit Special Olympics Cayman Islands.
