Spring sporting events to inspire

What is more inspiring than springtime in Bermuda?

From the crystal blue waters and pink sands begging to be swam in, to sunlight dancing through the branches in the railway trail that create magic, it is easy to fall in love with the outdoors in Bermuda.

What makes Bermuda unique, as we all know, is its people. From the End to End, to the May 24 half-marathon, our community comes together to support each other as we push outside our comfort zones.

If you have never had the chance to walk the End to End or even the Middle to End, you should really make this year, the year.

What makes this event different from the rest, is how involved the community becomes. It seems like everyone comes out to support the walkers, offering fruit, drinks and baked goods as you pass by.

Every water break becomes a mini party, and Dockyard is the best finish line you will ever cross.

I promise you that your tired feet will find the energy to dance across the finish.

The committee really goes above and beyond to create an event that is inclusive of all abilities.

There really isn’t any other walk this uniquely Bermudian.

Just a few weeks later, Bermuda comes out to support their own during the half-marathon. If you ever wanted to get into running, this race definitely is a race you want to participate in, even if just in the relay portion. Bermuda really knows how to inspire you through tough hills, long stretches and low energy.

Even if this year seems too unrealistic, start training as if you were participating in the main event — you may be surprised by how it helps with your motivation.

Alchemy Fitness is running a May 24 relay training starting April 12.

If you ever wanted to participate or want to add more cardio into your fitness regime, this could be for you!

Don’t miss out on some of the most Bermudian events this spring.
