Tracey Walker competes in the Halloween Fun Run, where she took the 5k race, with a time of 21:52.

The eleventh celebration of World Run Day will take place on Sunday, 8 November, with participants in Grand Cayman enjoying a 5k run/walk.

Run Day was founded in 1999 by Long Island, New York, runner Bill McDermott, with about 100 persons taking part. Last year, more than 2000 persons world-wide were included. The Cayman Islands has commemorated the event each year.

Action starts at 5:00 pm on that date with the assembly point being opposite the South Terminal on Harbour Drive, following a route out South Church Street and back.

Everyone, including pram passengers and four-footed friends on leashes, is encouraged to don a national costume or display national symbols.

United States representa-tives are further encouraged to designate their home states, and Canadians, respective provinces.

Owners of German shepherds, Irish setters, Mexican Chihuahuas, Alaskan huskies, and Russian wolfhounds, among others, are particularly invited to bring their pets along.

Awards will be presented to fastest finishers, and a number of random prizes will be distributed.

A national costume prize will also be awarded.

Entry fee is $15. Registration will be conducted from 4:00 to 4:45 pm at the race start venue. Entry forms may be obtained at www.caymanactive.com. For further information, call: 945-3970.

Refreshments will be provided at Breezes by the Bay, which is the site of awards presentations.
