About the End of the World Marathon
This small Belize race directs all event proceeds to university and trade-school scholarships for local young people. The charity mission is central, but runners still get a fully supported 26.2-mile road event through the Placencia Peninsula.
Course
From the football field near the bottom of the peninsula, runners pass through Placencia Village, Seine Bight, and Maya Beach, then loop back south of Riversdale to finish in Placencia. Frequent water stations support the long exposed road sections.
Race-day weather
December in coastal Belize is tropical, so a pre-dawn start does not eliminate warmth or humidity. Caribbean breeze may help, but exposed peninsula roads can feel hot once the sun rises.
