Saw this was out here and thought I would give it a go. Started at Maho Beach with hand in water which seems to be the way to do it.The climb out is crazy, really steep and rooted/rocky but still runnable other than the last 20'. Downhill after crossing the road is smooth all the way to the beach. Even the stairs are easy to cruise down. Hit the beach on the other side then headed back. Started at the hottest part of the day and got cooked by the humidity on the way back. Really struggled on the climb out, even stopped 3 times with hands on knees but still managed to get back in one piece. GPS is super funky through this area but then again its an island so not surprise. Will likely go back tomorrow morning or the next to give it a better effort. Highly recommend for short run while on vacation!
