The course covers the islands of Bermuda from end-to-end offering breathtaking views of turquoise waters, colorful gardens, and historic landmarks making this triathlon a virtual postcard of paradise.
In one of the most beautiful yet technical courses in all of triathlon, Escape to Bermuda covers the islands of Bermuda from west to east. The course begins with a one-mile swim at Royal Naval Dockyard. Competitors swim through warm turquoise waters into the King’s Stairs below the Dockyard Clock tower. After transition, the course takes the athletes along South Road 24 miles across the entire span of the country and past some of the most scenic views and vistas in the world. The six-mile run begins and ends in King’s Square in the historic town of St. George’s. The run is demanding as it follows the unforgiving hills and winding roads through St. George’s Parish.
