It’s been said before and is worth saying again, for the Reggae Marathon real kick off is our pasta party. And this year, the pasta party will take place at the iconic Devon House. Go early and walk around the grounds and maybe have some ice cream.

Runners and their friends and family line up long before the start of dinner so they can be first to check out the selection of food that has been prepared. There are so many options from the traditional rasta pasta and pasta dishes with chicken to a variety of breads to munch so you can carb load appropriately before the race. And most importantly, be sure to drink a lot of water to hydrate!

There is a DJ that plays reggae music as you walk around the venue, visit with friends, and eat your dinner. A little later, as the sun goes down, the steel pan drum band comes out and plays into the night. Enjoy the entertainment, stay awhile, but not too late. You’ll want to go back to your hotel or home and get some sleep for the race the next day.
