DERBY HISTORY
'Sir' Stanley Burgess, five-time Marathon Winner
The Bermuda Half Marathon Derby is Bermuda's longest-standing race, dating back to 1909. The event has become one of the island's most popular cultural and sporting events and takes place annually on Bermuda Day.
​
Runners from all walks of life accomplish this right-of-passage race attracting hundreds of supporters who line the street each year and even camp out the night before to secure a prime viewing spot along Front Street.
​
Like the annual Cupmatch, since 2015 the starting point of the Derby route switches each year between St. George's and Somerset. Participants can choose between running the full Derby or joining a relay team.
Sign up today and join in on one of Bermuda's most renowned road running events of the year!
