Join Exuma Half Marathon
The Exuma Half Marathon, Featuring the Run for Pompey, is a unique mix of history, culture and sport, all taking place in perhaps the most beautiful place on Earth. The Exumas, a stunning chain of 365 islands, has become known in recent years for its world famous swimming pigs. But with astonishingly blue water, endless beaches, bountiful wildlife and friendly locals, Exuma Half Marathon is a rare opportunity to experience everything this incredible destination has to offer, while also participating in a race with social impact.
Exuma Half Marathon celebrates the life of Pompey, a Bahamian hero who led a slave rebellion on Exuma in 1830. It is for this reason that the race’s Half Marathon is named “The Run for Pompey”. All proceeds from Exuma Half Marathon go towards The Pompey Scholarship, an award given to a deserving student each year so he or she can attend college or university.
Course highlights
For runners in the race, they’ll start their first mile in Regatta Park in George Town, the largest city on Great Exuma, which stretches some 37 miles long and lies right along the Tropic of Cancer in the Atlantic.
From there, they’ll follow the island’s main road along the coastline, passing within sight of Crab Cay, Elizabeth Island and Man-o-War Cay just off the coast, all the way to the turnaround point for the half marathon in Rolletown.
Once they make the turn, they’ll head back all the way to George Town for the race finish line. When they run the race, runners will support the Pompey Scholarship, which provides money for educational programs and facilities to students who don’t have the means to pursue post-secondary education here on Exuma.
