As runners, we must be nomads. Why else would we run towards a finish line that never really ‘finishes’?

Quebec City & Panama Marathon
On August 24th, in the full height of Olympic glory, seven Jamdammers completed the Quebec Half-Marathon and Marathon — four in the half and three (virgins) in the full!
There were engaging stories told — especially by the first time marathoners, who had a warmer-than-usual day in full sun. By all reports, the spectators along the course were decidedly pro-Jamaican. Once they recognized the distinctive Jamaican flags worn by the Jamdammers, we were enthusiastically cheered and showered with congratulations for our country’s outstanding performances at the Olympics. Who said you needed to be in Beijing to feel like a world-class athlete?
Two weeks earlier, three Jamdammers travelled to Panama for the Panama Marathon & Half Marathon. Although a race smaller than the Reggae Marathon, they enjoyed the event, the scenery and the sightseeing.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
