Track & Field

With perfect year-round weather, The Bahamas is the ideal destination for the active-minded traveler. Runners will appreciate the scenic and relatively flat terrain throughout our islands. But those who want more of a challenge will also find higher elevations to test them, including the Paradise Island bridges. Popular annual racing events include Eleuthera's Ride for Hope fund-raising bike-a-thon held each Spring and the Pineapple Fest Triathlon in June. Grand Bahama Island has the long-standing Conchman Triathlon, whick takes place in November, and the Bahamas Law Enforcement Sports Challenge starting in January 2012. In Nassau & Paradise Island, there is Marathon Bahamas, which is held in January and the Tour of The Bahamas Bicycle Race, beginning in May 2012. All of them attract numerous local and international participants and offer fierce competition.
