It is with great pride that I welcome participants, supporters, and distinguished guests to the 2025
Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge. This event, an eagerly anticipated highlight in Bermuda’s
sporting calendar, brings together athletes from around the globe to test their endurance and
determination against the backdrop of our stunning island.
This year, we are particularly honoured to welcome Lord Sebastian Coe to the Challenge. A true
legend in the world of athletics, Lord Coe’s achievements as a double Olympic gold medallist and
world-record holder have inspired generations. His leadership as President of World Athletics and
his pivotal role in delivering the iconic London 2012 Olympic Games have left an indelible mark
on global sport. We are delighted to have him join us and share in this celebration of athleticism,
community, and international camaraderie.
The Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge is more than just a series of races. It is a testament to the
enduring power of sport to unite people across diverse backgrounds and cultures. Whether you
are a seasoned competitor or a first-time runner, this event provides an opportunity to embrace
personal challenges, forge new friendships, and immerse yourself in the unique spirit of Bermuda.
Over the coming days, participants will take on three distinct races: the Butterfield Mile, the BF&M
10K, and the PwC Bermuda Half Marathon or Marathon. For those competing in all three, these are
as much about mental resilience as they are about physical endurance.
I would like to take a moment to recognise the dedicated organisers, sponsors, volunteers, and
local supporters whose contributions make the Bermuda Triangle Challenge possible. Their
commitment ensures not only the smooth running of the event but also that all participants and
visitors experience the warm hospitality for which Bermuda is renowned.
To the athletes, I extend my best wishes as you take on this unique challenge. May you find
inspiration in the support around you, strength in the journey, and joy in your achievements. To
our spectators, whom I will be joining, thank you for your unwavering encouragement—it is your
enthusiasm that helps to make this event truly special.
Dear Friends,
Every January, our island buzzes with excitement as athletes, spectators, and supporters
come together for this world-class event. From the electric energy of the Butterfield Mile to the
endurance displayed in the BF&M 10K and the PwC Bermuda Full and Half Marathons, the
Bermuda Triangle Challenge truly showcases the way sport matters to Bermuda.
As Nelson Mandela once said, “Sport has the power to inspire and unite people in a way that little
else does.” Whether you’re here to run, cheer, or simply soak in the atmosphere, you are a vital
part of what makes this weekend so special.
Events like this don’t happen without the tireless efforts of so many. A huge thank-you goes out to
the volunteers who give their time and energy, the sponsors who invest in our community, and the
spectators who line the streets to show their support. Your enthusiasm and generosity ensure this
event continues to thrive.
The Bermuda Triangle Challenge is more than a series of races. It’s a celebration of togetherness,
and the spirit of Bermuda. To the runners—local and international—thank you for inspiring us
with your dedication. To the spectators, your cheers of “looking good” fill the race weekend with
authentically Bermudian spirit.
Let’s make this another unforgettable year. Good luck to all the participants, and let’s show the
world why Bermuda is the ultimate destination for sport and community.
Warm regards,
The Bermuda National Athletic Association (BNAA) is excited to once again host this world-class
event!
World Athletics has an adage that says, “Sports bring people together,” and in this case, the
organisers, sponsors, and volunteers have come together to not only make this event possible but
to make it spectacular! The Bermuda Triangle Challenge is a prime example of the application of
that adage.
The BNAA Board is indebted and appreciative of Chairman Mark Harris and the Bermuda Triangle
Committee for their superb organisation of this weekend’s events. The committee worked tirelessly
throughout the year to prepare for this event and to ensure it was bigger and better than ever! An
example of their determination to improve the event is the introduction of the 5K on Saturday. The
5K is intended to increase first-time participation.
It goes without saying that none of this would be possible if it wasn’t for the incredible support of
all the sponsors and volunteers of this event. We greatly appreciate their contributions to this event
and the community at large.
I would also like to welcome and thank our guest speaker, Lord Sebastian Coe, World Athletics
President and two-time Olympic gold medalist. We are also thankful to have the North American,
Central American, and Caribbean (NACAC) President and former Olympian, Mike Sands, here
to support the Triangle Challenge. We also recognise and thank Donna Raynor, a World Council
member and past BNAA President, for her continued support of BNAA and this event specifically.
On behalf of the BNAA Board, we thank you for your participation and support and hope you will
enjoy the weekend’s events.
Dear Participant,
Welcome to the 2025 Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge. Whether you are a visiting run-cationer
or a local resident, we are thrilled to welcome you to this extraordinary event.
Since the inception of the Bermuda Tourism Authority in 2014, we have been proud partners of this
annual celebration of athleticism, camaraderie, and Bermuda’s unparalleled beauty. The Triangle
Challenge is not just about the races; it’s about bringing people together. This year, like every year,
the event draws participants from all backgrounds to our shores.
One of the highlights of the event is the way our island community comes together. Local
involvement is woven into the very fabric of the experience, and our renowned Bermudian
hospitality will be on full display as you navigate the scenic courses. The Front Street Mile
is always a huge draw, where visiting competitors run side by side with locals and a highly
competitive youth component.
As you run, you’ll be surrounded by views that are breathtaking year-round, whether you’re on the
coastline, in the heart of the city of Hamilton, or immersed in our lush greenery. We encourage you
to embrace every moment of our incredible backdrops. Don’t forget to stay hydrated during the
races—but be sure to indulge in a little fun at the Bermuda Goslings Rum stops along the way!
While you’re here, we hope you’ll take full advantage of the island’s many offerings. Make sure to
add an extra day to your itinerary to explore more of Bermuda’s charm and beauty. Our Restaurant
Weeks programme is currently underway, offering you a taste of our island’s vibrant culinary scene
at a great price point. And before you leave, take advantage of our Pink Sale to plan your next visit.
Thank you for being part of this year’s Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge. We look forward to
sharing our unique island spirit with you.
Warm regards,
TRACY BERKELEY

Lord Sebastian Coe is our guest speaker for the 2025 Chubb Bermuda

Global Atlantic Re on Saturday, January 18th | 6-8pm at the Hamilton

Sebastian Coe, Baron Coe, is a British sports administrator, former politician, and retired middle-distance

800-metre world record stood for 16 years.
After retiring, Coe became a Conservative MP (1992–1997) and a Life Peer in 2000. He chaired the London
Organising Committee for the 2012 Olympics and has served as President of World Athletics (formerly IAAF)
since 2015. A key figure in global athletics, Coe was inducted into the IAAF Hall of Fame and continues to

event. If you feel feverish, have been vomiting,
have had severe diarrhoea or any chest pains,
or otherwise feel unwell, it is unfair to you, your
family, and your charity to risk serious illness and
become a medical emergency. You are unlikely
to do yourself justice. There will be many other
races.
ON THE DAY
Wear appropriate clothes for the weather when
you’re racing. On a cold, wet day, you can
become very cold if you reduce your running
pace or walk. A hat and gloves will prevent heat
loss and are easily carried. If it is hot, wear loose
mesh clothing, start slowly and, if possible, run
in the shade. Please don’t wear multiple layers
and don’t try to attempt a personal best. Please
wear shoes you know from experience will not
give you blisters.
