YOU’RE GOING TO BARBADOS!
HATE THE WINTER? THEN HEAD TO BARBADOS FOR I TS AMAZING MARATHON WEEKEND SERIES _ START MAKING YOUR PLANS NOW!
WORDS: TINA CHANTREY
Runners’ paradise: can it get better than running beside the West Atlantic Ocean?
A dip with the sea turtles post-run is a must!
It’s just 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, but Barbados packs a punch on a global level when it comes to marathon weekend experiences. The island rose from the sea millions of years ago as coral limestone, rather than volcanic activity so expect to see colourful colonial houses chipped into the coral, as if they are sitting atop giant blobs of pumice.
When you travel to the Run Barbados Marathon series (runbarbados.org), held during the first weekend of December every year, it’s not just about participating in up to six races (1K, 5K, 10K, halfmarathon, marathon and 5K walk) and feeling smug about your medal haul. You’ll also experience the magic of island life, the Bajan people and their culture. Yes, you’re travelling to find some winter sun but you can also step into the island’s past. There’s crystal clear sea to snorkel in, where you can swim with Hawksbill sea turtles. Then there’s the rum…ah, the rum!
