Marathon Bahamas is comprised of races made for the people and run by the people. We take pride in working with some of the greatest individual and volunteer groups in the Island.

If you are interested in supporting the runners and walkers, while being on the front line, grab your family, friends and colleagues and form a CHEER ZONE along the Cable Beach and Delaporte areas. Bring your cowbells, drums, horns, noisemakers, music and tons of energy and enthusiasm to encourage our endurance athletes on their trek to the finish line.

Volunteers are key to the success of our premier race – Marathon Bahamas. Our volunteers come from every walk of life, they get involve and, by doing so, give back to the community and make new friends along the way. Marathon Bahamas salutes it’s 700 2016 volunteers!
