The Reggae Half Marathon is Jamaica’s premier International Half Marathon Event. Marathoners, sports enthusiasts as well as beginners, converge in Negril, Jamaica’s capital of casual, for a fun event characterized by good vibes and lots of Reggae music.
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 course also keeps participants in an “irie” spirit, as they burn the mileage.
Other related Half 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 an opportunity to relax on the beach with special offerings and entertainment geared towards having the best time.
All in all, the Reggae Half Marathon Event is uniquely Jamaican with an international appeal.
The Half Marathon and 10K start at Long Bay Beach Park situated along Negril’s famed 7-mile white sand beach. The course loops into the town of Negril then heads north towards the town of Green Island. The mostly flat course is an IAAF certified half-marathon course & 10K course.

Jamaica is beautiful, but very humid. The majority of people participating in this race are doing the half-marathon, so the second half of the race is very quiet. There is also very little crowd support, so that was challenging as well. If I were to run this race again, I would stick with the half-marathon and enjoy the post-race ocean cool down.
