Participant Info

10 Miles – The 10 mile route, 5 out and 5 back, is gentle and easy and includes some of Eleuthera’s best vistas to the sea from Queen’s Highway. Exit Cocodimama, go left and continue to the settlement of James Cistern. There are a few hills as you pass the airport but they aren’t difficult and you quickly arrive at the memorable coastal arc that sweeps around to the settlement. The turnaround Support Tent is at the north end of town, nestled near the church. Rest, rehydrate and return to Cocodimama.

20 Miles – The 20 mile route continues to be gentle and easy. Exit Cocodimama, go left, continue to James Cistern, and then on to Rainbow Bay. You will pass the 10-mile Support Tent in James Cistern, where you can stop and rest if you’d like to, and then continue to the Support Tent in Rainbow Bay. Rehydrate and rest if necessary, then return to Cocodimama. The return trip enables you to enjoy the great scenery between James Cistern and GHB Airport again – and you will be going downhill as you near Cocodimama!

40 Miles – Gregory Town is one of our participants’ most favorite stops, as local residents manning the Support Tent go all out to celebrate your arrival and take good care of you while you’re there. The route, 20 miles out and back, takes you through James Cistern, Rainbow Bay and then Eleuthera’s famed silo-dotted agriculture fields. And, if you’re fortunate you might see a cow or two grazing on the roadside. Be very careful on the hill leading into Gregory Town.

Use caution going down and the hill is unexpectedly steep and transitions into an immediate right-hand turn at the bottom. On your return south, there is no shame in walking up that same hill! Participants should take note of the 10 unsupported miles between Gregory Town and Rainbow Bay Support Tents.

50 Miles – If you’re not an elite 100 miler, getting to Glass Window is the holy grail for our participants. The views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from this iconic geological feature of Eleuthera are spectacular. And the sense of accomplishment on arrival can’t be matched! Exit Cocodimama and go left on to Queen’s Highway. Continue north through James Cistern, Rainbow Bay, Gregory Town, and then onto Glass Window Bridge. Our Support Tent will be on the north side of the bridge. Rest up before your return to Cocodimama!

65 Miles – If you’re heading for 65 miles, you continue north past Glass Window Bridge, through Upper Bogue and Lower Bogue, and then on to the North Eleuthera Airport. As you approach Lower Bogue be sure to bear right at the Y in the road. The point will be well marked! We are so grateful to have White Crown Aviation host our Support Tent. If you’ve been a participant since our early days, look around and reminisce about our staging area being there back in the day and marvel at how much we’ve grown! After rest and rehydration, return to Cocodimama.

100 Miles – 100-milers love coming to Eleuthera to get in this annual “Century Ride.” The field includes seasoned cyclists as well as determined amateurs and it’s a real treat to watch both. 100-milers are the only participants who exit Cocodimama and go RIGHT/SOUTH on Queen’s Highway to Governor’s Harbour. We use only the “Up” Hill and then it’s on to the “Banks Road Loop.” At the southern end of the loop you will find Support Tent with hydration and energy gels only.

Head back to Governor’s Harbour, back up the “Up” Hill, and around the loop. Yes, you complete the “Banks Road Loop” twice! Then you head back north to Cocodimama. From there, complete the 65 mile journey described above, and finally return to Cocodimama where our team will be waiting to celebrate your finish!.

5K (3.1 miles) – Exit Cocodimama and turn left onto Queen’s Highway. Head north to the Governor’s Harbour Airport. The turn around spot is at the southern end of the airport and will be marked with a cone and flags. Return to Cocodimama. N.B. there are no Support Tents or Water Depots along this route, including at the turnaround point!
