With only 1 day to go and last day for late registrations, we also would like to thank our only Gold Sponsor to this year's event, Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Ministry of Culture and Tourism Tourism Division continues with plans to build Bloody Ridge national park. It is a must visit for all WW2 historical tours. There is a saying by our North American visitors, "If you have not been to Bloody Ridge, you have not been to Guadalcanal".

The Half Marathon turnaround and Marathon runs through Bloody Ridge National Park.
Hill 1 (Mukande) was the first line of defense during the battles for Guadalcanal. Today, it’s not just a symbol of courage, it is now part of the Bloody Ridge National Park, preserving history while welcoming visitors and runners to enjoy its trails and panoramic views. The Peace Marathon lets participants walk and run where heroes once stood, celebrating history, health, and community."

Thank you so much Ministry of Culture and Tourism Division. Together we build our tourism industry.
