12 Mile Bike
The 12 Mile Bike course consists of a flat
and very fast 4 mile loop that is completed three times. You are responsible
for keeping track. 90% of the roads on the course are one-way for riders.
The course is entirely closed to traffic for your safety. Every intersection
is closely monitored by one of our many volunteers.
Please thank the volunteers - without them, Islandman would not be possible.
After racking your bike, it is up and over the boardwalk for the 5K Beach
Run.
