The men's and women's winners of the Marathon race will each receive $5,000, second-place finishers will receive $2,500, and third place will be worth $1,000.

It will enhance the experience for the community and also elevate the live television broadcast of the race on WPBF Channel 25, the market's ABC affiliate and Official Broadcaster of the U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon.Prize money could also foster further growth. The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon is coming off its incredibly successful inaugural year, where the race experienced nearly 40 percent growth, and is expecting the same rise in entrants again this year. It's part of a new surge in Marathon running throughout the world. U.S. marathon participation dipped before and during COVID, and is now rebounding strongly as people get back out and seek active ways to stay fit and socialize through running clubs."We are now a true destination race with an iconic waterfront location in Palm Beach County, and the introduction of purse money will now serve as support for some of the best marathoners in the country and the world to the city of West Palm Beach," race owner Kenneth R. Kennerly said. "Our outstanding partnership with our title sponsor, U.S. Polo Assn., allows us to continue to grow the race not only locally but also on an international level."U.S. Polo Assn. is based in West Palm Beach and is the official sports brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA). The brand has a multi-billion-dollar global footprint and worldwide distribution to more than 190 countries through more than 1,200 U.S. Polo Assn. retail stores as well as thousands of additional points of distribution. U.S. Polo Assn. brand products include apparel for men, women, and children, as well as footwear and accessories. U.S. Polo Assn. has recently been named one of USA Today's Most Trusted Brands, voted on by thousands of consumers across America."The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon reflects the authentic connection between our brand and sport, while also celebrating the vibrant energy of our home in The Palm Beaches," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages U.S. Polo Assn. "This year will be historic as we celebrate 250 Years of the American Spirit, present the largest prize money for marathon winners in the state, support well-deserved charities, and celebrate thousands of committed runners from The Palm Beaches and around the world."Not only do marathon winners receive a prize purse, but several selected and well-deserving local charities will be the recipients of donations from U.S. Polo Assn. and money raised by participants of the marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. These charities will receive their donation checks in a lively public presentation following the winners' trophy presentations. This important philanthropic component is part of the overall experience of sport, community, family, health, and wellness.Now is the perfect time for runners to start training for the 2026 race, regardless of their chosen distance. There has been a surge in Run Clubs throughout South Florida and the country that provide a great social setting for that training.Last December, more than 6,100 runners - an event record-came from 46 states and 29 countries to race on a flat course without hills or bridges that takes runners through the lively West Palm Beach downtown area with its historic sites and quaint neighborhoods. Runners experienced the majestic palm-lined streets of Flagler Drive and the beauty of the Intracoastal waterfront.The family-friendly, action-packed weekend includes five races, certified by USA Track & Field, and set at distances to accommodate runners of all levels. It includes the Marathon (Boston Marathon qualifier), Half Marathon, Marathon Relay, 10K, and 5K courses. The 5K and 10K races will be held Saturday, Dec. 12, at 7:30 a.m. The marathon, half marathon, and marathon relay will be held Sunday, Dec. 13, at 6 a.m.Early registration is now open.

Following the successful conclusion of this visit, the Alatau City Authority, a state body of Kazakhstan, promptly held the Alatau City Investment Round Table in Hong Kong today (11 June). The event forms part of an official visit by a Kazakh delegation to Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. It reflects increasingly close ties between the two sides, while demonstrating proactive efforts to build on the outcomes of the recent visit and sustain the momentum of cooperation.The roundtable was attended by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR, John Lee, and the Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Kanat Bozumbayev, and brought together representatives from government bodies, along with leading enterprises, financial institutions and investors from Kazakhstan, the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, as well as members of the business delegation who had participated in the Central Asia visit. Participants explored the latest developments, investment opportunities and key initiatives of Alatau City, a new greenfield project located near Almaty, across different sectors, including fintech, the low-altitude economy, smart city development and infrastructure.John Lee, the Chief Executive of the HKSAR, said at the roundtable session: “Kazakhstan's ambitious reforms and its open, welcoming attitude towards international partners were both welcome and impressive. And Hong Kong is eager to build on this momentum, to explore wide-ranging business and investment co-operation with Kazakhstan - Alatau City very much included. I can tell you Hong Kong shares your commitment to openness and connectivity. Under the unique 'one country, two systems' principle, we are the only world city to combine the China advantage and the global advantage."Silas Chu, Director of Exhibitions and Digital Business of HKTDC, said at the roundtable session: "The HKTDC's role is to promote Hong Kong as an international business platform through our global network of 51 offices. We attach huge importance to the Central Asian market. The fact that we opened our Almaty consultant office back in 2018 speaks for itself. And through our business platforms, including those we co-organise with the Hong Kong SAR government, such as the Belt and Road Summit and InnoEX, we can certainly help promote our city's vision and attract international investors and technology partners."Templewater Limited, one of the business delegates that joined the Chief Executive-led mission to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan from 1 to 5 June, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DASCO Capital today to explore the establishment of a fund supporting the future development of Kazakhstan and Alatau City Project.The Central Asia visit delivered fruitful results, with a total of 96 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and agreements signed, providing strong support for follow-up exchanges and collaboration.
