The inaugural Island Triathlon Series which was rescheduled a few months ago has added a new race option for athletes to choose from. They already have the signature race distance called The Island Eighty which consist of a 1 mile Swim, 66 mile Bike and 13 mile Run. To accommodate those that might be looking for a shorter distance triathlon race in their off season they have added another signature race distance option. They have appropriately called it The Island Forty and it will feature a 1 mile Swim, 33.5 mile Bike and a 5.5 mile Run. It looks like a perfect distance for those that might be interested in some sort of exercise while on a nice winter break in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

The first race is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 29, 2008 on the Providenciales Island of the Turks & Caicos.
