People are being given a chance to get a taste of the challenges faced by contestants in the Colonial Bermuda 100 Day Challenge with a free public boot camp.

The Challenge last took place in 2013 and is now being sponsored by Colonial with 25 people taking part, who were chosen following rigorous selection process.

A spokesman for Colonial said in a press release: “We would encourage everyone to register for this event which will be a great way of supporting the contestants as well as getting some exercise. Hopefully people who take part will be inspired to continue to exercise and get fit.

“Like most holidays in Bermuda, the Easter weekend will see a lot of good food consumed. This public boot camp will be a great opportunity to burn a few hot cross bun calories off!”

The event will take place on Saturday at Albouy’s Point with members of the public asked to check in from 7.30am before the session starts at 8.30am. The work out will last one hour.

Participants should register in advance via this link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-colonial-bermuda-100-day-challenge-public-bootcamp-tickets-33250227325.

Andrew Phillips, Project Director for the Bermuda 100 Day Challenge, said: “The contestants have really been put through their paces and the public will be able get an idea of the challenges they have faced. It should be a really fun event.”
