🗺️ 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)
