The Countdown to Race Weekend is on!

4 WEEKS AWAY

STRONG INTERNATIONAL FIELD

With weeks to go before the 2015 event, Marathon Bahamas has a very strong international field! Registrants include citizens from 17 countries with a large contingent from the US and Canada. There are three groups: Marathon Globetrotters, Team in Training (NYC) and Drake University.

The marathon registrants have already surpassed 2014. The event field is represented by 62% females and 38% males with the average age being 44 years young!

THE GIFT OF HEALTHY GIVING

Thinking about that ‘special gift’ for that ‘special person’ for the Holidays?

Consider a registration in the Susan G. Komen Bahamas Race for the Cure® 5k, Saturday, January 17, 2015.

Not only will you be giving a special gift but contributing towards the eradication of cancer from our community.

Contact us at 502 6500 to purchase your gift registration.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

SPREAD THE WORD – SPACE IS FILLING UP FAST

Once capacity is reached, registration will be closed and will NOT reopen. Marathon Bahamas registrations are trending 22% ahead of 2014 and we expect a sold out event.

Don’t wait for the last minute and then hear the words SOLD OUT for the 5k on Saturday. Pre-register NOW to secure your spot at the starting line.

Make sure you spread the word to your family and friends so that they can get the chance to participate in one or both of the weekend events.

Form a team with your friends, family and colleague. Bring the children. Make it a family event all for the CAUSE!

WIN A GRAND PRIZE

During the course of the event, Marathon Bahamas will be raffling off two-night hotel stays at Breezes, Hilton and the grand prize: two nights at The Cove Atlantis inclusive of breakfast at Mosaic.

You must be present to win.
