Great Runs in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Note: For the Full Guide to Running in Turks and Caicos, see the GR Website
The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British territory consisting of 40 small tropical islands. While this gorgeous archipelago draws well over one million tourists annually, most visitors tend towards the resort center of Providenciales and the cruise ship port of Grand Turk for the white sand beaches, superb snorkeling, lighthouses, and watersports. There is development to a much lesser extent on North, South, and Middle Caicos. Our guide to running in Turks and Caicos features routes in each of these areas.
Providenciales: Best places to run in Providenciales include sandy Grace Bay Beach, the long sidewalk along Grace Bay Road, roads around the Venetian Road Settlement, and several quiet, dirt roads in the west side of Provo.
Grand Turk: Run some of the roads around the Cockburntown waterfront, or take scenic Lighthouse Road for 5 km to the historic Grand Turk Lighthouse.
South Caicos: Choose from the grid-like roads around Cockburn Harbour or set out on the long 7 km road along the north peninsula of South Caicos.
North and Middle Caicos: There is really only one road across North and Middle Caicos, but it’s a pleasant spot for a long run of up to 53 km.
