Our private coaches will be operating a shuttle service all day to and from from the race start/finish area back to the resort so that you can leave whenever you have finished your event.

All participants are encouraged to remain at the finish, however, to cheer in those runners who have elected to enjoy the wondrous scenery for just a little longer.

A good idea is to hop on the shuttle, go back to your hotel to freshen up and then hop back on the shuttle to go back to the finishing line to cheer in the last participants.
