New Start Line For 2025 Half Marathon
The Bermuda Day Half Marathon Committee has announced a change to the startline in St. George’s for the 2025 race.
A statement posted online said, “We got a bit of feedback from last year’s Derby participants, and it seemed no one was a big fan of the turn-around on Marsh Folly. It was probably the only part of the course with very few spectators and incredibly quiet.
“We made the decision to have this section of the course on Marsh Folly eliminated. This change has caused the St. George’s start line to be moved back, and the mile markers for the entire course to be adjusted. The new course was updated and certified over the weekend by World Athletics/AIMS Level A measurer Bob Thurston. Thank you, Bob!
“The new course map will be forthcoming. FYI for 2026, the Somerset start line will be slightly moved back as well. Special thanks to Kim Tucker [Derby Committee] and Stephen Desilva [Bermuda Timing] for assisting with this endeavor.”
