Details
A loop race that follows a 13.1-mile course from downtown Hamilton
around the island of Bermuda (the full marathon follows this course
twice), the race offers a wealth of scenic views both of Bermuda's
plentiful natural wonders and its people, as the course takes runners
through a number of residential areas.
Because the race is limited in size (usually around 700 to 800
participants), don't be surprised to hear your name called along the
course's neighborhood runs -- participants' names and race numbers are
printed in the local newspaper on the day of the race.

Weather & Climate
Located just off the coast of North Carolina, Bermuda boasts mild,
spring-like weather virtually year round. Even in winter, the island
tourism office promotes its "70 degree guarantee," a promise that the
island is usually able to deliver on. In January,
temperatures in Hamilton average between 61°F and
69°F.
