One of the most popular (and hilly) races on the island, and the second race in the Half and Full Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge events, the BF&M 10k Run/Walk will take you on a scenic course filled with rolling hills, lush foliage, and beautiful vistas. Bask in the excitement of fellow runners and spectators as you complete an oval-shaped loop that starts and finishes at the National Sports Centre, offering views of historic Flatts Village and the North Atlantic Ocean along the way.

PLEASE NOTE: FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE BERMUDA NATIONAL ATHLETICS ASSOCIATION, STROLLERS ARE ONLY PERMITTED IN THE NON-COMPETITIVE WALK AND WE ASK THAT YOU START NEAR THE BACK TO AVOID ANY INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS.

Amenities

All participants in the BF&M 10k Run/Walk will receive a 2026 Chubb Bermuda Triangle Challenge technical t-shirt, a custom 2026 BF&M 10k Finisher’s Medal, and a swag bag.

In addition, all are welcome to attend the FREE post-race Finish Festival on the North Field featuring music, Bermuda’s famous Gombey dancers, samples of locally brewed beer courtesy of Bermuda Craft Brewing and complimentary samples of rum-based cocktails courtesy of Goslings. Kick back on the grass while you enjoy Nature Valley granola bars and an Oscar Mayer hotdog from Butterfield & Vallis.

Please note that Full/Half Bermuda Triangle Challenge participants and people that register for more than one race (e.g., the Butterfield Mile Open Division or the BF&M 10k and the PwC Bermuda Full/Half Marathon) will only receive one shirt.
