Franklyn Wilson,CMG is chairman of Sunshine Insurance, the lead sponsor of Marathon Bahamas. Hello, on February 14th 2010, you’ll be organizing the Marathon Bahamas . Can you tell us where it is located? Marathon Bahamas will be located on the beautiful bahamian island of new providence. §staticmap(6016) How old is the race and why was it created in the first place? This is a brand new race created to attract both local runners and those from overseas. We are a not for profit entity who will donate the proceeds of the event to charity. This year those charities have been identified as the Cancer Society of the Bahamas and the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. What kind of route have you set up for the runners? How would you describe it? The route is designed to showcase the beauty of the Bahamas, from the start, sunrise at beautiful Montague beach, over the bridge to the breathtaking Paradise island along the northern coast of the island. Runners will be able to take views of the beautiful ocean and pristine beaches. The race will end at the historic Fort Charlotte where runners will be able to unwind and get a massage on the beach.

Most will be club runners and relay runners however we do expect a few elite runners to join us. Do you organize other races during the Week-End? If so, on what distances? This year we are running the full, half and relay marathons simultaneously. We will consider other distances in subsequent years. At that time of the year, what kind of weather can we expect?

The temperature will rise over the course of the typical february day, reaching somewhere around 75.9 degrees by early afternoon. by the early evening hours in february the temperature will generally fall to somewhere in the vicinity of 70.1 degrees. overall, temperatures in the bahamas during february average around 70.5 degrees.

There is a wonderful variety of activities locally from scuba diving and power boat rides to water theme parks and casinos.
