Run Barbados Weekend 2025
Run Barbados Weekend 2025
Run Barbados Weekend celebrates everything great about having fun in the sun. Concluding with a Half and full Marathon (at 05:30h start due to morning heat), the weekend commences with a one-mile fun run around the Garrison Savannah Racecourse that attracts thousands of families and tourists alike.
Sandwiched between both events lies Saturday’s 5km Walk, 5km and 10km race. Complete the longest iteration of all events to receive a Gold Medal, scaling down to Bronze for picking two of the shorter distances.
Everyone’s a winner…. Wales and British & Irish Lion, Shane Williams joins MSG in Barbados as our tour host. No stranger to overseas adventures and racing, Shane competes around the globe representing his own Agilis brand in various disciplines (whilst occasionally lacing up his boots as well!) Of course, there’s no obligation to do anything in Barbados but sunbathe. Simply join our charity adventure by supporting fellow runners, family members and friends whilst adjusting to island life (which, we promise, is as chilled as their ice-cold Banks’ Beer, an event sponsor) . If all that’s too much then consider the postrace catamaran cruise around the Caribbean Sea featuring snorkelling with turtles and rays, buffet lunch, live music and an open bar.
Has that got your attention?
Our Charity Partner
“Bowel Cancer UK are the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity. We’re determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.
