Course

From the Hilton Aruba start and finish, runners complete two half-marathon loops past Eagle Beach, the High Rise Area, and California Lighthouse.

Race-day weather

June is hot, humid, and breezy even before sunrise. Runners should start conservatively, drink early, and expect direct sun to become a major factor after dawn.
