The Reggae Marathon Experience … it’s an EXPERIENCE!

I can keep telling you all the great reasons why Reggae Marathon is a special race event in Negril, Jamaica.  And I can show you tons of photos of smiling runners before, during and after the race.  I’ve been doing both for a number of years now.  And with my 7th consecutive Reggae Marathon this December 5 under 90 days away now, my anticipation will continue to grow.  The biggest excitement for me this year:  It will be the 4th consecutive year that a core group of guys meet up in Negril to have fun, catch up, run and basically act silly for a few days.  Cant’t wait…soon come!

To hear all about the Reggae Marathon Experience from another point-of-view, this series of articles on Reggae Marathon 2014 from Run247.  Tons of photos of Jamaica and Negril before, during and after the race.  Plus lots of inside tips on how to get the most out of your trip to Jamaica, Negril and Reggae Marathon.  Enjoy!
