History

The inaugural event on 8 October 2006 was the first marathon staged in Jersey for 20 years.[1] It attracted approximately 300 runners, and was won by Garry Payne in a time of 2:44:32.

The 2011 marathon attracted over 300 off-island runners,[2] and saw 352 finishers in the main event.[3]

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all entries automatically transferred to 2021.[4]

Course

The course starts and finishes at Weighbridge Place, Saint Helier, and is set out over the town streets, central, north and west of the island.[5]
