Where can you run in Aruba?

Question

Okay...So I am going into my senior year in high school and I want to run 500 miles this summer to get ready for XC season in the fall. At home, I can easily run 60-70 mile weeks but I am going to Aruba for a week in August (the peak of my training). Does anyone know where I can run in Aruba. Is there even a track there? And please keep in mind that I can't run on the beach....shoes or no shoes...it kills my shins and calves....Let me know if you have any good info or runs or whatnot

Answer 1

I would nor recommend running on the North Coast - sand, rocks, etc.

South Side has small highway going from California Light House to St. Nicolas Refinery  ( about 20-30 miles, not sure about exact mileage). I have seen people running there, when I was driven there myself, but Aruba is not good place to run - very hot and dry weather year around.

Answer 2

There is a paved path that follows the high-rise hotels it runs along the beach. That is definitely good for a few miles. You will want to run early or late because during the day its fairly crowded.

Answer 3

on the beach!

Answer 4

You can run on the road that goes around the island.
