Marathon Bahamas 2015

Posted by Tonia Ferguson

Since its debut in 2010, Marathon Bahamas boasts an involvement of some 22 countries, more than a thousand participants, and economic gains in New Providence. The event, which is scheduled the weekend before Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday holiday, January 17 and 18, promises to draw an even larger crowd. In addition to promoting an awareness for the dreaded disease, support for survivors, and recognition of those who have departed, this year a French Diplomat is expected to participate to complete his 100th marathon.

Thanking her fellow Rotarians for their support and contribution, Veronica Duncanson detailed the goals of the event's parent - Sunshine Insurance, that has helped so many.
