Reggae Marathon

In true Jamaica style the island is host to the annual Reggae Marathon. Many may wonder what a reggae marathon is, picture an island marathon with a sound system rigged up along the race route playing reggae beats to egg the athletes on and you just might have the correct image in mind. With world class athletes such as Usain Bolt hailing from the small island one might come to the conclusion that running to the tune of Bob Marley’s ‘jamming’ might just be the way forward. The Reggae Marathon is a world class run along some of Negril’s finest white sandy beaches. Spectators can sit back and enjoy the scenery as runners tour the island after a traditional Rastafarian blessing at the beginning of the event.
