Fitness Adventure -- The Island-Athlon Challenge A Great Workout For A Good Cause

For those who consider a good workout part of their vacation relaxation, the Peter Island-Athlon Challenge is an ideal way to boost physical activity with the added benefit of supporting the local BVI community. "In years past, most of our guests would find a beach hammock and that would be the daytime activity for their entire vacation. Now every morning we see guests running, hiking and biking the island's 5-Mile Loop," states General Manager, Wilbert Mason. "It occurred to us that Peter Island has all the land and sea components needed to create an athletic challenge that guests can enjoy during their stay.
