A look at last year’s Fairmont to Fairmont Race

The Fairmont to Fairmont Race is organized by the Mid Atlantic Athletic Club [MAAC]  and sanctioned by the Bermuda National Athletics Association. First run in 1978 as the Princess to Princess, the race was MAAC’s first organized event.

Now named Fairmont to Fairmont Race, it is the longest-running sponsored road race event in Bermuda. In 2014, $4,170 was donated to The Family Centre from MAAC and Fairmont from race proceeds. A portion of the 2015 entry fee will be donated to The Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust.
