Bahamas has been announced as the latest addition to the lineup of the GFNY Global Endurance Sports Series, which is scheduled to take place on November 3rd, 2024. It will feature a competitive long-distance race, covering 60.8 miles with 1392 ft of climbing.

The GFNY Bahamas participants will have two options, according to the needs and demands of both seasoned and cycling enthusiasts. As per the rules, both races will start and finish at Goodman’s Bay.
