ALL NEW for the 2025 Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge race weekend – a 5k on Saturday with an option for both runners and walkers! This event has been added in response to feedback received from participants over the last few years asking for a 5k. We’re excited to be able to offer a 5k as part of the weekend’s running events, as it is another way of making the Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge more inclusive for people at all stages of their fitness journey.
Please note: The BF&M 5k run/walk is a stand-alone event and does not count as part of the full or half Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge.
Amenities
All participants in the BF&M 5k Run/Walk will receive a 2025 Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge technical t-shirt, a custom 2025 BF&M 5k Finisher’s Medal, and a swag bag.
In addition, all are welcome to attend the FREE post-race Finish Festival on the North Field featuring music, Bermuda’s famous Gombey dancers, locally brewed beer courtesy of Bermuda Craft Brewing, and complimentary rum-based cocktails courtesy of Goslings. Kick back on the grass while you enjoy Nature Valley granola bars, an Oscar Mayer hotdog, and Haagen Dazs ice cream, all courtesy of Butterfield & Vallis.
Please note that Full/Half Bermuda Triangle Challenge participants and people that register for more than one race (e.g., the Butterfield Mile Open Division, the BF&M 5k, the BF&M 10k or the PwC Bermuda Full/Half Marathon) will only receive one shirt.
Course Description
The 5k course begins and ends at the North Field of Bermuda’s National Sports Centre. Runners will head south on Montpelier Road to Middle Road until they reach Parsons Lane. They will take a left on Parsons Lane and run up Barkers Hill, through the scenic Ocean View Golf Club, until they reach the Bermuda Railway Trail. Here, they will take a right onto the Railway Trail for a brief out and back, giving them a bird’s eye view of the Atlantic Ocean, before continuing west on the Railway Trail to join the 10k course on Palmetto Road. From here, the 5k course traces the 10k course back to the finish: runners will follow Palmetto Road west, take a left onto Frog Lane and follow Frog Lane back to the finish at the North Field.
Time & Age Limits
Please note you must be at least 10 years of age on Saturday, January 18, 2025 to participate in this race. There is a 1:30 time limit on the BF&M 5k Run/Walk.
In order to comply with the agreement with the Government of Bermuda, streets along the route will be reopened to vehicular traffic on a set schedule. Runners are advised to stay on the LEFT side of the road.
