Run Barbados Marathon Celebrates 40 Years of Fitness and Fun

With the return of the beloved Fun Mile, the Sportsmaxx and Gildan Run Barbados Marathon will be three days of fun and fitness.

Celebrated as the largest marathon in the Caribbean, this year’s 40th edition of the race weekend will take place from today through Sunday in picturesque Barbados.

The Return of the Fun Mile

The festivities will start tonight with the PWC Fun Mile, which will be held at the historic Garrison Savannah at 20:00 hrs. As it is a “fun mile,” this race is all about having fun, aside from the competitive element. It will be a glow-themed race, and participants are welcome to come out in their costumes with their whole crew, including schoolmates, colleagues, family, and friends. Along the route, they can enjoy Barbadian characters, music, powder, 360 stations, and, of course, food on sale.
