Cool places to run series: Bermuda


Runs done in Bermuda: 
21-miles (33.5 km)
19-miles (30 km)
Applebee's Half Marathon

Bermuda is a British island territory in the North Atlantic Ocean known for its pink-sand beaches such as Elbow Beach and Horseshoe Bay.





We spend several cruises in Bermuda which gave me the opportunity to run around the island, or, part of it. 

Running around the island gives you a great view of the various well-know beaches such as Tobacco Bay near St George's or the pink sand beaches

Pros: weather is always hot 
Cons: it's very humid and traffic is too busy. 

One event that is definitely worth it is the Bermuda Half Marathon which takes place in May. Close to 1000 runners run from Summerset Village to the finish line in downtown Hamilton. Great event to run. We were fortunate to be in Hamilton during the Bermuda Half Marathon and i was able to convince some crew to participate. The ship, Ms Veendam, was docked next to the route and whenever one of the crew passed the ship, the captain and his team blew the whistle. Uber cool....
