The
2020 Milo Kids Fun Run takes place on Sunday, 6 December as part of
the Intertrust Cayman Islands Marathon. One of the largest primary
school running events on island, the fun run is also sponsored by the
Ministry of Sports and is free for both public and private school
students between the ages of five and 11 years old. The 2019 race
brought out a little over 300 kids.

Organisers
say that the event will be just as safe as always and they are hoping
kids will enjoy the chance to participate in a year where so much has
been cancelled for them As usual, the kids will get to cross the main
event’s finish line, end their half-miler just like mom and dad,
and then receive their medals and enjoy snacks courtesy of Milo.

“Parents
and kids can feel confident that they will be safe at the Kids Fun
Run as always. We will be well within the limits set by Public Health
relating to gatherings, and as usual we stagger our starts slightly
for the benefit of the younger runners which will allow for some
social distancing,” said Rhonda Kelly, Co-Race Director. “As the
name implies, this event is always a fun one for both the kids and
the adults. We look forward every year to seeing a sea of green
t-shirts crossing the finish line, and this year we think it will be
even more meaningful after a very challenging year for our youngest
participants.”

The
Kids Fun Run was introduced in 2007 to inspire kids to begin thinking
about health and fitness choices from an early stage. Participants
cross the same line finish line as the adults after an approximate
0.7-mile run. The Kids Marathon log encourages children to keep a
record of their activity leading up to the Kids Fun Run, completing a
full marathon (26.2 miles) at the end of the run in December. The
first 25.5 miles of the marathon can be done by running, walking,
swimming and playing sports. Kids can have their parents, P.E.
teachers or another adult sign their log verifying that they have
completed each mile.
