About
The race
The Reggae Marathon & Half Marathon is Jamaica’s premier international long-distance race event. Long distance race enthusiasts as well as beginners, have converged in Negril, Jamaica’s capital of casual, for a fun event characterized by good vibes and lots of Reggae music for the past 24 years ! In 2025, the event celebrates its 25th anniversary and moves to Jamaica’s capital, Kingston where enthusiastic supporters come out along the looped, internationally certified course to support participants. Meanwhile, hard working volunteers offer uniquely packaged water and re-hydration fluids at every mile. The pulsating Reggae music on the course also keeps participants in an “irie” spirit, as they burn the mileage. Other related Reggae Marathon events, like the internationally rated gourmet Pasta Party and Registration & Expo, have participants and supporters alike, humming with activity. The Finish Line Beach Bash affords everyone to relax with special offerings and entertainment geared towards having the best time. All in all, the Reggae Marathon Event is uniquely Jamaican with an international appeal
