Course Information

Our course is VERY flat, probably the flattest you will ever run! In addition, our race is IAAF-sanctioned through the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and can be used as a Boston Marathon qualifier.

Description Of The Race Route

The race begins on Seafarers Way, George Town in front of Hard Rock Café. You will run through South Church Street into South Sound and then onto Old Prospect Road to Prospect Point which is designated the turnaround. This is where the second and fourth legs of the relay will start. There you will turn around and run back using the same route and then turn onto Walkers Road where you will continue until you come to Hinds Way where you will turn right and continue onto Academy Way back to Walkers Road. Continue on Walkers Road until you come to the 4-way stop at Hospital Road. You will turn left onto Hospital Road and then left onto Elgin Avenue where you will run past the George Town Police Station and the George Town Post Office toward the Town Clock, turning left and continuing to the stop light on Seafarers Way and turn left and return to the Start/Finish line in front of Hard Rock Café. Full marathoners do it all over again!
