From Bay to Marina

The first leg of the triathlon takes you on a 750-metre swim in the sparkling waters of Catseye Bay. After conquering the ocean, it's time to pedal through paradise. The 20km bike ride—which encompasses three loops around the southern area of the island and the airport runway—will have you zooming along a scenic route filled with fresh island air. Lastly, a 5km run past the marina and resort sides of the island will bring you to the finish line! This thrilling course is designed to challenge your limits and reward you with breathtaking views at every turn, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
