Say What?
A screaming hot adventure through the winding roads of Tortola Island. The steep ascents and descents combined with the beautiful blue water views will leave you breathless. This is a bucket list race that will be one you will remember for the rest of your life!
Avery Collins
2018 Winner & New Record Holder
If you consider yourself a runner of any distance from 5k to ultra this race needs to be on your radar for next year. Vacation in Tortola, go on a once in a lifetime run around the island, then spend the rest of the day celebrating at the finish line. A destination race that can’t be topped.

2018 Ladies Winner
