Adventure tips

Bring closed-toe shoesSecure, flat shoes improve grip on platforms and when climbing stairs between lines.

Hydrate before you goThe course lasts about 45 minutes overall but humidity and climbable steps make water important.

Ask about photographer packagesMany operators include or sell digital photos—ask before your run if you want on-course photos.

Disclose weight and health conditionsOperators have gear and limits—report weight honestly and avoid the activity if pregnant or with spinal/heart issues.

Recommended gear

Closed-toe athletic shoes: Provide grip on platforms and stability during climbs.
Lightweight, breathable clothing: Reduces overheating in tropical humidity and avoids loose fabric catching on gear.
Sunscreen and hat: Protects from strong Caribbean sun while waiting between runs.
Small refillable water bottle: Keeps you hydrated during brief waits and stair climbs.
