Exuma (Bahamas) - "Exuma Marathon, Featuring The Run for Pompey". Now entering its 10th year, the Exuma Half Marathon, Featuring the Run for Pompey, is a unique mix of history, culture and sport, all taking place in perhaps the most beautiful place on Earth. The Exumas, a stunning chain of 365 islands, has become known in recent years for its world famous swimming pigs. But with astonishingly blue water, endless beaches, bountiful wildlife and friendly locals, Exuma Half Marathon is a rare opportunity to experience everything this incredible destination has to offer, while also participating in a race with social impact. Exuma Half Marathon celebrates the life of Pompey, a Bahamian hero who led a slave rebellion on Exuma in 1830. It is for this reason that the race's Half Marathon is named "The Run for Pompey". All proceeds from Exuma Half Marathon go towards The Pompey Scholarship, an award given to a deserving student each year so he or she can attend college or university. www.runforpompey.com

Chikmagalur, Karnataka (India) - "Malnad Ultra". The Malnad Ultra is mostly a trail run through some of the most enchanting and exciting terrain that you can imagine for a run. It is designed to provide the next level experience for marathoners who have got bored of the usual city runs and want to graduate to the next level. The course is laid out in the heartland of Indian coffee in the Malnad region of Karnataka at elevations from 3000 to 4500 feet. In a way, The Malnad Ultra is not designed as a race per se. We think that the runners will take time for selfies, listen to the leaves rustle, the cicadas chirp and the birds sing. Massive jungle trees, thousands of silver oak trees and endless coffee plantations will catch your attention. With some luck, you will sight small wildlife like monkeys, porcupines, peacock, hares, giant squirrels, civet cats and snakes. We are offering three categories, 30, 50 and 100 Km this year. Registrations are open until October 15, 2024 and details are on our website. www.malnadultra.com
