The Volcano Half-Marathon

Runners around the world are invited to participate in the Montserrat Volcano Half Marathon on Saturday, November 27, 2010.

Lush, green and mountainous, the strenuous 13.1-mile course, will pass close to the active Soufrière Hills Volcano.  An easier, shorter Fun Run/Walk will also be held the same day.

This Caribbean volcano lay dormant for over half a century until it rumbled back to life in 1995.

Along the half-marathon route, other sights will include the Blakes Football Field; Carrs Bay Historical Site; Little Bay; Montserrat Cultural Centre and Runaway Ghaut.
