Route: Aruba Traverse (Aruba)

The Aruba Traverse is a 23.6 mile crossing of the Caribbean island from the southeastern to northwestern terminus. Route starts and finishes with a foot in the sea. 

Heat and humidity are challenging as is the unexpectedly tough terrain including sharp basalt scrambles, sand dune crossings, and cactus barbs (long socks and sleeves are recommended). Panoramic views of crashing waves, cactus-laden landscapes, and vibrant wildlife are ample rewards for the course's challenges.
