This 5.9 mile loop is one of my favorite runs from town.  It is the course that is used by Island Rec for the Loop run.  One of the reason this is a great course is the traffic.  Not many cars go around the loop and those that do drive the speed limit, well most of them do.

A good starting point is in front of the Fitness Club.  Running clock wise you would run out towards Warbass and follow the road all the around Turn Point and Pear Point.  You will pass the shipyard, Steve Miller's place, a view of Turn Island, pass the gravel pit, run by Jackson Beach  and the fairgrounds on Argyle. 

I say the length as described is 5.9 miles.  Well, maybe 5.8.  If you watch along the road you will find the correct mile marker painted on the road.  Faded some, but there.  I might go out and spruce up the paint some over the next couple of weeks.

We use this course as the finishing touches to the San Juan Marathon.  Cruel I know, but very scenic.

Give it a try if you haven't already done so and enjoy this loop.
