A two-day warm-up period with live music and entertainment gets runners in the mood for the serious business of the marathon which gets underway early in the morning of the third day. This is Jamaica’s premier international marathon event that attracts a mix of long distance runners, sports enthusiasts and first time marathon runners. It is a fun event with a full-time party mood helped along by live reggae music. Both the marathon and half-marathon start at Long Bay Beach Park, on Negril’s 11km (7 miles) of white sandy beach.
