@Augie...... That is one of the flattest places on St. John. I run out in coral bay every time my son goes to KATS, Kid and the Sea, and that flat stretch is always welcome after the hills. Also out at Maho Bay Beach you can run to Francis and then out to Leinster, all fairly flat and some of the mo...

I have lived on St. John 23 years and Rich and Cris hands down have run the most consistent eatery on St. John that caters to tourist and locals alike. One of my best friends works there. It would be very easy to pinpoint who the waitress was by your check and day you were there. This should be brou...

Hi Tracy, Thanx for the clarification. I am a distance runner so I saw 25k and..... oh well!! I was wondering what the 'C' meant in front of the 25K. I would like to run with you and your husband when you are on St. John. I have a runners blog that you can reach me through. I am not very active on t...

Hi, The best way I have found to breath is the 2-2 method. Breathing in every 2 steps and out the other 2. You will be taking one full inhale and exhale every 4 steps. Also it is very helpful to "Belly Breath" Take as much oxygen into your core in a relaxed manner as possible.You can get a...

Hi Tracy, Not a stupid Question at all. We have a local Triathlon here on St. John and an Ironman 70.3 was just held in St. Croix. There is an community of athletes here that may be able to assist you. To answer the Question, No.. as to rentals, but I can put you in contact with some local bikers wh...

Hello to all St, John Travelers!! I am a member of Dean's Team here on St. John and am working with the group to better the lives of our youth. I sent our Governor a letter yesterday. He is aware of our program and me and Dean have spoken to him personally about having his office involved with our e...

Congratulations to all who participated in the race both on and off the roads. thank you Jeremy for keeping the title on St. John once again. You can view awesome photos, video, and articles about our 6 time champion and the race in general on my runners blog. I have posted links to various media an...

Welcome to all visitors ans especially all you runners! This will be the best year yet with a Pasta Party at Paradiso and a Film Screening "Spirit of the Marathon" at Pastory Gardens. Please register soon if you have not as the race will sell out as usual. 838 cap this year. Any questions ...

We have been cleaning the roads and Peter, the race director is hard at work to make this years event the best ever....

I was only referring to certain areas where litter is abundant. Over all comparing the two I will agree St Thomas is much worse. I see the litter from a different visual. Running along the north shore and looking down towards the beach side of the road are hundreds of thousands of pieces of litter n...

I will see you at the race. WOW 8-10 of you, a lot of people power. I need your help. The last litter patrol is this Saturday the 21st. Unfortunately the island is becoming completely trashed and there are now spots that look as bad as St. Thomas. On a previous litter patrol for the race I filled 4 ...

Hello to all. Last year I was able to donate $4600 to the college scholarship fund for the 8 tuff miles annual road race and would love to do it again this year but simply stated, this is the worst I have ever seen on St. John for retail in the 21 years I have owned stores here. Please help with a d...

I just ran by Peter Bay this morning. Your best bet would be to head East toward Cinnamon and Maho Bay. The roads are not heavy with traffic and mornings, as early as possible will reward you with the coolest temps. Today had a cool breeze with a mist of rain, just perfect! I have a runners blog and...
