Trail Races in St Croix ?
Quote | Reply
I may be relocating to St. Croix for work for about a year and was wondering if anyone knew of any good trail races in that part of the world?
Thanks,

Not a specific answer to your question, but I will say that after the St. Croix 70.3 a few years back my wife and I ventured out to Buck Island. It is an island off of St. Croix and a National Monument. The beaches and snorkeling there are world class and its totally deserted. There is an beautiful, albeit short, series of trails around island with amazing views. You could probably run the whole island in under an hour for sure, even with breaks for pictures and water. We ran the trails out there and loved it!

Can't think of many great trails on St Croix other then desolate red clay roads that head into the rain forest.

If you can jump over to St John, trails are awesome. None are very long but they are a blast to run. Rocks, roots, some elevation and most end at a quiet beach where you can cool off before heading out for more.
