Members of the Reggae Runnerz Group from United States travelled to Jamaica for the 2020 Reggae Marathon in Negril. Organisers of the Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K are planning to add a virtual 5K race to its annual choice of events as of 2021, in addition to the physical run and walk, as soon as COVID-19 protocols allow. The 2021 staging of Reggae Marathon, is set for December 5 and the new addition of the virtual 5K is expected to generate wider global participation. In making the announcement on Thursday, race director, Alfred Francis said the virtual 5K is against the background of the success of the virtual races this year, which saw more than the targeted 500 runners and walkers from 14 countries, including Jamaica, participating.
