Join Bermuda Triangle Challenge
For more than 45 years, runners from around the world have traveled to Bermuda in January to run in paradise. The Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge offers something for everyone: from a mile race to a 10k walk/run to a half or full marathon, or – for the truly adventurous – the Half or Full Bermuda Triangle Challenge.
The recently redesigned PwC Bermuda Marathon course is IAAF certified and a Boston Qualifier and lets participants take a running tour of the island with a start in the historic Royal Naval Dockyard and a finish in downtown Hamilton. While Bermuda’s weather in January is unpredictable, the average high is 70F and the average low is 60F, and more than half of the days are filled with clear, blue skies and sunshine!
All races feature on-course entertainment and plenty of water stops and aid stations, while the half and full marathons feature RUM stops! The Race Expo and Finisher's Villages are all new with a variety of entertainment, photo ops, and refreshments from our sponsors.
3 races in 3 days: can you survive the Bermuda Triangle Challenge?
