Virgin Islands Triathlon Federation - St Thomas, St Croix, St John, United States Virgin Islands
The Island Hoppers Event Series is fast, fun and extremely exciting. Many herald it to be the funnest event we host. Often participants can be seen racing with costumes and decorated bikes.
The format is simple: 1 bike - 2 people. Participants begin with one team member cycling and one running. At predetermined points (transitions) bikers will drop the bike and begin to run. When the runner reaches the bike they hop on and hopefully pass their runner on the way to the next transition (if their runner gets there first, they have to wait on the biker). This continues with team mates “hopping” over each other to the finish line. The team’s time is taken when the second team member crosses the finish line.
Pre-registration is not required. Bike MUST be a mountain bike.
Distances vary by course.
