Round the Island Relay

CIA celebrated St. Maarten Day by entering a team of students and staff into the Round the Island Relay.     Congratulations to the 10 person team who ran the course in 2 hours and 56 minutes.  Way to go team!

We thank Fun Miles for their generous sponsorship of our team.

The team was all smiles before the race - lots of confidence!


The team met at daybreak to prepare for the 7:00am start of the race.


Mr. Keller is in good stride - seems to be enjoying it!


The support teams cheered on the runners at each stage.


Ms. DiNardo found this an easy run compared to the New York Marathon she recently completed .


The loneliness of a long distance runner.


Support teams transported runners to their starting positions.


Kenya Bruce ran a strong leg, ending with a steep uphill climb.
