FKT: Greg Nance - Havana Seawall — Malecón (Cuba) - 2023-01-01

Began and finished at the official Malecón marker at the mouth of Havana Harbor (adjacent to Castillo de Salvador, the restored 16th century fortress) and then continued 4.2 miles west past the Centra Habana and Vedado neighborhoods, reaching the turnaround at the mouth of the Almendares River.

The Malecón suffers extensive erosion from crashing waves so be mindful of uneven terrain and large craters in the esplanade. I wore Brooks Glycerin 20’s which held up well and carried an Osprey ruck with water and electrolytes.

What a fun way to kick off 2023! Recommend this route to any runner or walker visiting Havana :-)
