  • 🗺️ The Course

    • The route is clearly marked and mostly flat, making it beginner-friendly:

    • Starts near the bike rental area

    • Runs along paved paths and scenic island roads

    • Passes beaches, shaded areas, and some behind-the-scenes parts of the island

    • Includes water stations along the way

    • It’s more about the experience than speed—you’ll get some great views you won’t see otherwise.

  • 💡 Tips to Know Before You Go

    • Go early → It gets HOT fast in the Bahamas ☀️

    • Hydrate well → Use water stations along the route

    • Wear sunscreen → Even in the morning

    • Bring your phone/camera → Great photo ops

    • You can do it on your own → If you miss the official time, you can still complete the course later and often still grab a medal (availability may vary)
