race history
Each successive year of the Reggae Marathon event continues to build on the remarkable successes of the 2001 and 2002 races. There is a ‘buzz’ about the Reggae Marathon throughout the worldwide running community. Over 1500 visitors arrived in Negril for the inaugural race in 2001. The 2002 event was even more successful and now Reggae Marathon boasts a high number of repeat participants. The world's best marathon pasta party is the talk of all who attend.
Spectators are treated to a special experience at the Reggae Marathon as reggae music is heard from 'sound systems' both tethered and mobile with wattage that could power a house. Jamaicans take their music and the means of delivering it very seriously. There are now live Reggae Bands along the Course, adding to the magic of the Race. It is all on display at the Reggae Marathon and every year it gets bigger and better.
