On behalf of the Government and people of Bermuda, it gives me great pleasure to extend a very special invitation to attend the Bermuda International Race Weekend.

Bermuda is excited to be hosting this annual event. We expect that this year's race weekend will bring out the finest runners on both the amateur and professional level.   We are quite proud of our island and this event. Just about everyone on the island turns out for race weekend. Local residents line the various race courses offering runners our form of Bermuda support and encouragement. Participants tell us that the Bermuda races are some of the best for course management, competition and hospitality.

During this weekend, you will have the opportunity to experience all of what Bermuda has to offer as a vacation experience; from our beaches and hotels, to our golf courses; and from our transportation services to our many historical attractions.

Once again, we hope that you will consider participating in the Bermuda International Race Weekend. We are confident that it will be the highlight of your running season and time well spent.

Thank You.

Dr. The Hon. Ewart F. Brown, JP, MP
Premier and Minister of Tourism & Transport
