Bermuda Triple Challenge To Be Held In March
The Bermuda Triple Challenge will be held from Friday, March 15th – Sunday, March 17th, when participants will run, jump, climb and crawl their way through three unique obstacle courses over three exciting days in support of six Bermudian youth-based charities.
A spokesperson said, “The enjoyable obstacle course racing weekend has raised $500,000 since 2012. Individuals, and teams of up to five participants will navigate obstacles ranging from scaling shipping containers, A-frame walls, traversing the Regiment’s Assault Course, a 300 ft water-slide and even climb over one of the islands iconic pink n’ blue buses as they compete for $5,000 of available cash prizes. The Bermuda Triple Challenge’s unique scoring system combines points for fundraising with finishing times in order to determine who is crowned ‘The Fittest For Charity’. Organizers have already seen strong registration to date, including 30 internationals.”
Co-Race Director Jason Correia shared, “We are excited to return. Each year we try to offer something slightly different and mix things up. This year we’re looking at a revised Sunday course for the Chubb Royal Challenge starting from Lagoon Park just outside of Dockyard.”
The organization said that “100% of every dollar raised is donated to the weekend’s charities: The Family Centre, Tomorrow’s Voices, ConnecTech Coding, The Reading Clinic, Knowledge Quest Ltd and The Bermuda Foundation for Insurance Studies.”
Co-Race Director Clare Panchaud shared, “The unique scoring format allows for anyone to win. The emphasis is on fundraising! The more charitable funds raised, the better positioned participants are to win, plus we have the obstacle wildcard which participants can use to “skip” any non-mandatory obstacle during the weekend. Earn up to three wildcards for each $500 increment of charitable funds raised and save valuable time on route.”
A spokesperson added, “The weekend would not be possible without our returning sponsors, so thank you very much Argus, Chubb, Butterfield & Vallis and Take Five Catering.”
“The Bermuda Triple Challenge kicks off 7:00 pm Friday, March 15th with the Argus Urban Foot Race through the old town of St. George’s followed by a community block-party with DJ Fury and a bouncy castle for all to enjoy.
“The Butterfield & Vallis Island Challenge starts Saturday morning at 8:40am from Warwick Camp and will be followed by a family-style BBQ courtesy of Take Five Catering and Butterfield & Vallis.
“Sunday’s finale at 9:45am will see participants in an all-out assault on Lagoon Park in the Chubb Royal Challenge. The weekend is wrapped up with the much-anticipated Buzz / Butterfield & Vallis participant appreciation brunch.
