"I’m running the Barbados marathon for the local flavor. Barbadians love running and they love sharing their passion for our sport with the tourists.

Also, theirs is a flat course since Barbados is a relatively flat island with beautiful views of the white sandy beaches.

It’s like paradise. Every time I go for a run in Barbados the one thing that keeps popping up in my mind is ‘I’m running in PARADISE!’

- Bart Yasso, Chief Running Officer (CRO) Runner's World

"I have run both the full and half marathons. What a blast, beautiful beaches, great party, a fun race, but most of all wonderful people.

My experience at Run Barbados was the reason for picking Barbados as one of our destinations on Cruise To Run."

- Jerry Friesen, Cruise to Run
