Bahamas Half Marathon

NASSAU, CARIBBEAN, JANUARY 20

If your only point of reference for Nassau is Sean Connery swaggering around looking for Spectre and random women, then…you won’t be disappointed; it really is that glamorous. It’s the capital of the 700-odd islands that make up the Bahamas, and the half marathon (or full, should you fancy it) takes you through historic downtown and along the coastline to a seafront finish – before you get on with the real business of canasta competitions, stone-crab shacks and rum cocktails.

Flights BA flies direct to Nassau from Heathrow, from £661 return
