Team Diabetes in the Cayman Islands
Published: February 25, 2013
Walk or run with John Streit and Team Diabetes in the Cayman Islands on December 1, 2013 in support of the 9 million Canadians and someone you know living with diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Walk or run with John and Team Diabetes on December 1, 2013 in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association. Challenge yourself to complete a half marathon (21.1K), marathon (42.2K) or sign up with three friends and do the marathon relay together! The course is open for 6 hours so the half marathon is a great option for those who prefer to walk. The route is flat and passes by spectacular beaches and through the financial district of George Town as well as some of the area?s most exclusive neighbourhoods.
