About the event

The Kingston City Marathon returns on March 14, 2027, offering runners four distinct races: the full marathon, half marathon, 10K run, and an inclusive 5K walk/run for all ages and abilities. This year's event celebrates Kingston’s vibrant culture with a theme of "Pirates versus Heroes," complete with costume contests and fan zones filled with reggae music along the route. Participants will pass through iconic landmarks such as Devon House and Kings House while enjoying panoramic views of the Blue and John Crow Mountains, making for an unforgettable running experience. All proceeds from this year's races go directly to supporting local homeless charities and vulnerable families in Kingston.
The scenic course weaves through the heart of Jamaica’s capital city, providing runners with a unique blend of historical sites and natural beauty that captures the essence of Caribbean spirit. Whether you're racing for personal achievement or simply embracing the festive atmosphere, the Kingston City Marathon promises an engaging day filled with community support and cultural celebration.
