REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!! WE’RE OVER CAPACITY

ABOUT EoW:
The End of the World Marathon was started to raise money for Belizean education. From the beginning, all proceeds have gone towards funding the Placencia Rotary Club High School Scholarship program for Belizean youth.
Due to the success of our fundraising efforts, the generous donations from our sponsors, as well as the successful efforts of the Placencia Rotary Club student mentors, we have been able to extend the initial high school scholarship program beyond high school to university and vocational trade schools.
Over the past 13 years the EoW has funded more than 400 four-year high school scholarships, 30 university scholarships, and 20 vocational trade school scholarships.
If you would like to make a donation towards the scholarship program, please click the button below, (you will be redirected to PayPal).
