ISLAND RACES (5K / 10K & HALF MARATHON)
The Island Races are inspired by the marathon which is a long-distance foot race with a distance of 42.195 km / 26.2 miles, usually a road race, but the length can be covered on trail routes. The marathon can be completed by running or with a run/walk strategy. There are also wheelchair divisions.
The Half Marathon, a distance of 21.097 km /13. 109 miles is derived from the Marathon because over time it was discovered that more people wanted an intro distance to Marathon, before actually taking up the full-distance challenge!
There will be a Series of Races 5K. & 10K held in each Island leading up to the final event in Providenciales.
