The 29th edition of the Trinidad and Tobago Marathon will be held on Sunday July 24, from five a.m., as part of the finale of a three-event running festival, starting on July 23.
In recent years, the marathon was held in late January and finished at Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, but as part of the event's rebranding as Trinidad and Tobago International Marathon (TTIM), it will be returning to its traditional route, finishing at Whitehall, Port of Spain.
This will allow the start to return to Freeport, which was the start location for the first T&T Marathon, in 1983, and remained the start point for many years.
The traditional route follows the Southern and Eastern Main Roads into Port of Spain before heading to Whitehall.
The West Shore Medical 5K race, traditionally associated with the Marathon, will kick off the running festival on July 23 from four p.m. around Queen's Park Savannah, and will also finish at Whitehall.
The move to Saturday will ensure that there will be no clash with Marathon runners finishing at the same time. Marathon runners will also be able to run the 5K as a pre-race warmup.
A new event this year will be the Half Marathon, which will start at the halfway point of the Marathon, in Caroni, and proceed along the Marathon course, to the finish at Whitehall.
The Half Marathon will also be staged on July 24, and has a 5.45 a.m. start.
