2012 / 2013 International Events!
Team Diabetes is excited to announce our latest additions to our 2012 / 2013 calendar of international events! We are well known for our roster of unique events and these incredible destinations, two of which are new to our program, are no exception.
Cayman Islands
December 2, 2012
We’re escaping winter and heading back to this amazing, tropical destination. Walk or run the half marathon, run the full marathon or sign up with 3 friends and run in the marathon relay together - that’s just over 10K each! The Caymans event offers a picturesque, enjoyable and flat route that passes through the famous financial district of George Town, along the beautiful waterfront and through some of the more exclusive neighbourhoods on the Island. Once you’re done your event of choice, relax and enjoy the warm waters and white sand beaches.

Experience the wonder of Walt Disney World in a whole new way! Join us for a weekend of events that are as magical as they are memorable. Walk or run through the amazing theme parks and receive a coveted, Disney themed medal to commemorate your completion of the half marathon, full marathon or the Goofy Challenge. Post event take in all Disney World and the Orlando area have to offer from SeaWorld and water parks to the Kennedy Space Center and Busch Gardens.
