Feeling like getting some good exercise while you're in paradise? The 8 Tuff Miles Road Race is just the thing to get your heart pumping! Here's the info I found on the race at the USVI's new website, www.visitusvi.com:
For the 13th consecutive year, the Annual St. John Gatorade 8 Tuff Miles Road Race takes place on Saturday February 28, 2009 at 7:15 a.m. The race begins at Cruz Bay and ends 8.38 miles away, at Coral Bay. The course begins and ends at sea level, but elevates along the way to a maximum of 999 feet. Awards will be distributed to winners from all age groups, with the first place overall female receiving $300 and the first place overall male receiving a $300 bar tab from The Tap Room, Mongoose Junction. All entrants who complete the course will receive an official race T- shirt and a medal. For more information, call (340)779-4035 or visit www.8tuffmiles.com.
