The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is holding a Universal Children’s Day 5K Run/Walk Sunday, 24 November 2019, 6 a.m., at Dragon Bay (formerly Safehaven). The theme of the family-friendly event is “I Have a Voice, Hear Me Roar” with all funds raised going to local families in need.
Open to all, the run/walk is being organised to celebrate the annual United Nations observance, which falls on Wednesday, 20 November this year.
Would-be participants are invited to pre-register through www.caymanactive.com/ucd. Alternatively, those wanting to pay in person by cash can do so on either Wednesday, 20 – at the main entrance of the Government Administration Building, or on Friday, 22 at the staff entrance from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Registration costs $15 for adults and $5 for children (16 years old and under).
While the first 75 registrants will receive a complementary event T-shirt, all participants will get a free raffle ticket, with prizes drawn at the end of the race. Organisers advise that well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome and that water is going to be available during the race and at the finish.
