GFNY Adds Long Distance Cycling Event in The Bahamas
November 3 event will feature two different courses
Posted On: September 18, 2024 By :GFNY Global Endurance Sports Series has added an event in The Bahamas to the 2024 schedule. The November 3 long distance cycling event is 60.8 miles long with 1,392 feet of climbing.
“The Bahamas are an aspirational destination,” said GFNY President Lidia Fluhme. “A GFNY is the race of your dreams. But GFNY are endurance sports experiences not just for the athletes but also for accompanying family and friends. What could fit that better than The Bahamas?”
GFNY Bahamas will offer participants two race options. The long-distance race will feature two loops of a scenic route, while a medium-distance course will provide a challenge for those seeking a shorter course. Both races will start and finish at Goodman’s Bay, a park that overlooks a white sandy beach and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.
“The addition of this major cycling event to The Bahamas’ events calendar showcases our commitment to promoting sports tourism and attracting world-class events to our shores,” said Chester Cooper, Bahamas deputy prime minister and minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation. “We are thrilled to welcome GFNY participants and their families to experience the beauty and hospitality of our islands.”
GFNY participants and their families will have the opportunity to explore Nassau, known for its beaches, culture, shopping, dining and excursions.
“As we welcome GFNY to our beautiful islands, we are not only opening our doors to world-class athletes but also presenting the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes that make The Bahamas a top-tier destination,” said Latia Duncombe, director general of The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation. “We are always pleased to take advantage of opportunities to create unique and unforgettable experiences for visitors and residents alike. We look forward to the positive impact this event will have on our local communities.”
