We spent last week in Grand Cayman, soaking up the bright sun and gorgeous turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Besides being an amazingly gorgeous island with great weather, amazing beaches and good snorkeling, it’s a great island for running, too. I braved the heat and humidity for a (slow!) seven mile run, with a nice long break in the middle to send post-cards from Hell!
One main road follows the coast for much of the island, and running parallel to seven mile beach there were sidewalks for miles and plenty of grocery and convenience stores where you could find a restroom and fill your water bottle.
I ran to “Hell”, a natural rock formation that’s become a Grand Cayman tourist attraction, and back to our hotel. Greg continued on and looped around Barker’s National Park, which was gorgeous, but didn’t have great access to water.
Beyond that run, most of the running I did was up and down the beach to the place that rented paddle-boards 🙂 Not such a bad thing…
Where’s the coolest place you’ve run?
