The annual and much anticipated Running for Red event is just around the corner, thanks to the Cayman Islands Institute of Professional Accountants (CIIPA). On Saturday, 27 August, runners and walkers of all levels are invited to don their running shoes in support of the Cayman Islands Red Cross.

“CIIPA’s social committee is proud to host Running for Red for its fourth consecutive year,” said Fareed Hosein, chair of CIIPA’s organising committee. “This is a great fun run for the whole family, with proceeds benefiting a worthy charity.”

Held at the North Sound Golf Club, the run covers two separate distances, a 5K and a 10K, both of which begin at 6:30 AM.

Those interested in participating are encouraged to register online at www.caymanactive.com or www.ciipa.ky. The CI $25 registration fee includes breakfast and entry into a raffle prize drawing.

Initially conceived by CIIPA vice president Ben Leung, Running for Red has consistently been a successful charity run; with last year’s event raising over CI $7,000 for the Cayman Islands Red Cross.

CIIPA is currently seeking sponsors at a CI $500 sponsorship level. To volunteer, sponsor, or to find out more, contact the CIIPA office at 1-345-749-3360 or email [email protected].
