Unique Experience

With a great turnout from local and regional age groupers it’s an intimate race with some caribbean flair.  An open water swim in the crystal clear waters just off seven mile beach, a short run to transition and an out and back bike course along the coastline, followed of course by the run, it’s a hot one, hence the name MercuryMan once the sun is up in Cayman you can expect the run temps to be between 80-100 degrees but don’t worry we are prepare with water, ice and plenty of cheer squads!!
