In today’s blog, we are highlighting Tonya Busse. Read about Tonya’s Reggae Marathon journey below.

Where are you from? Klawock, Alaska (but now I live in Kingston, JA)

How long have you been running? Give or take 10 years

Why did you start running? It was a fitness thing at first but it has since become my whole personality.

How did you hear about the Reggae Marathon? I heard about the Reggae Marathon from a road sign.

Why did you choose the Reggae Marathon? How could I say no to stunning beaches, vibrant Jamaica culture, and a welcoming running community?!

Are you coming with a group (or are you by yourself)? I will be trying to keep up with my friends from the Pacers running club.

Anything special you would like to share? I am counting down the days until I can enjoy another post-Reggae Marathon coconut on the beach!
