Sole SistersThe 8th annual Off the Beaten Track 50k ultra-marathon and relay, one of the most challenging athletic events in the Cayman Islands’ sporting calendar, will be taking place on Sunday February 26th, 2017.

Kenneth Krys, founder of KYrS Global and race founder is encouraging teams to sign up, promoting the importance of corporate bonding through group activities which both challenge the individual member and encourage a sense of teamwork.

Registration for the race is now open at www.offthebeatentrack.ky/registration/ and are USD $300 for a relay team and USD $100 for individuals.

“This race represents a unique challenge of 50k ultra-marathon or relay through tropical bush, sandy beaches and the back roads of Grand Cayman. The race is broken down into six legs of 8k which allows relay teams to take part becoming a lot more manageable and enjoyable for the average runner,” Mr Krys said.

“With many companies bringing in new recruits for the New Year, this race presents the perfect opportunity for everyone to get to know each other better and build a sense of community within the office through training together and completing the race.

Whether you choose to enter a team or as a solo runner this race will definitely keep you on your toes and leave you feeling accomplished,” he said.

This year, proceeds from Off the Beaten Track will go towards supporting the efforts of the YMCA Cayman Islands, a non-profit organisation, committed topartnering with men, women and children to strengthen the local Cayman community.Mourant Ozannes 2016 male winning team
