Cozumel

Famous all over the world for its coral reefs that are home to 100 species of fish, sea sponges, coral, sea turtles, lobsters and Queen Conch, the island now forms part of the Cozumel National Park. With its beautiful beaches, boutique shops and exquisite cuisine, Cozumel is an ideal vacation destination. During your stay in Cozumel, you get to enjoy breath-taking sunsets, secluded beaches and crystal clear blue waters. Cozumel has been the host of top endurance events for many years and has now become one of the favorite venues for amateurs and professionals alike, due to its beauty and favorable conditions. Cozumel is the seasonal training home for many professional athletes from around the world.

Course

The GFNY Cozumel course provides panoramic views and challenging winds. There are two distances to choose from, the Long Course is 160 kilometers and consists of two loops around the island of Cozumel. The Medium Course is 80 kilometers that circumvents the island of Cozumel once. No matter which course, we promise you will be mesmerized by beautiful beaches and ocean views, plus the support of all the locals who will be out in big numbers to cheer you to the finish line.

 

LONG COURSE IS A COMPETITION: Only the finishers of the long course are eligible for category rankings and Overall and Podium awards. If you want to race and be ranked in your category, you must complete the long course. Top 10% of finishers in each age group earn a spot in the Qualifier Corral at every GFNY World event.

 

MEDIUM COURSE IS NOT A COMPETITION: The riders of the medium course will be provided their start-to-finish time, but will not be ranked by finish time. All finish times will be listed in alphabetical order.
