Volcano Half Marathon & Fun Run (November 24th 2012)  
This annual event is organised by the Montserrat Tourist Board and the Montserrat Running Club in support of Montserrat charities. The first edition was held on December 5th, 2009 and the second edition was staged on Saturday November 27th, 2010. The strenuous and unique event involves a route that passes some of the key tourism attractions on Montserrat, particularly the active Soufrière Hills Volcano and some of the areas the volcano has impacted.

Points of interest along the route will include the Montserrat Cultural Centre, the entrance to Sir George Martin’s AIR Studios and the Belham River Valley which is covered in volcanic rubble (weather permitting). The course will be a very hilly one with spectacular sea-views all along the way. As well as the 13.1-mile Half-Marathon course, fun runners and walkers will be invited to participate in a section of the route stretching approximately five miles. Water stops will be provided and medical staff will be on hand to assist runners.
