How to Participate in the RUN THE ISLAND with IBiSA SERIES,

You are invited to take part in the exciting IBISA RUN THE ISLAND SERIES, in one of two ways:

Compete for the Prize: Join all four races to compete against top athletes and vie for an array of prizes. By participating in each event, you can demonstrate your speed and establish your rank on the leaderboard based on your finishing times.
Just be active: Alternatively, you can participate with the goal of just finishing all races and be healthy and have the opportunity of creating a unique IBISA Run The Island Medal collector's item. Each individual race you finish will earn you a medal, and when combined, these medals will form a stunning large medal shaped like Aruba. This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate your accomplishments while contributing to a beautiful keepsake that represents your journey through the series.
Pick and Choose Your Races: If you prefer a more flexible approach, you can also choose to participate in individual races. Select the events that suit you best and still contribute to your running journey without committing to the entire series.

Whether you aim for competitive glory, want to collect stunning medals, or simply wish to enjoy a particular race, there’s a place for you in the IBISA Aruba Running Championship Series! Lace up your sneakers and join us for an unforgettable running experience!
