Join us for our 13th Annual End of the World Marathon & Half Marathon
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 12 years the EoW has funded more than 100 four-year high school scholarships, 30 university scholarships, and 20 vocational trade school scholarships.

The half marathon will be mass start with OFFICIAL time chip-time (meaning your time starts when you cross over the sensor at the starting line and end when you cross the sensor at the finish line, you are rank by least time, not the order of how you finish).
