Reefathlon - Bike, Swim & Run

Join us for the very first Reefathlon event!
19 mile Time Trial Cycle on Sunday September 27th

The Reef is a great destination for relaxation, so when cycling friends asked us to let the world know about our perfect cycling roads, our first thought was “that doesn’t sound relaxing”. Still, cyclists can be very dedicated to their cause, so they persisted, but how best bring together cyclists from Cayman and overseas together to compete, but, more importantly, to relax, have fun and make new friends? We thought about how Cayman is known for “multi-sports” events, but have you seen those crazy triathletes? That “swim, bike, run” idea of one tough event after another? Sure seems like too much work for a vacation to us.

Reefathlon then, is simply cycling wrapped in a beach break, where you can replace the “swim” and “run” segments of the “-athlon” with some lazy snorkeling and a leisurely stroll on the beach.

Now, as we say at The Reef, “we make relaxing look easy, as we practice hard at it every day”, and we think we are onto a great idea with Reefathlon, so we are taking it very seriously. How seriously? Our race manager is a three time Olympic cyclist and first Caymanian cyclist to win a Gold & Silver medal at the CARFITA Games Caribbean cycling legend, Craig Merren.
