Course Map
It couldn’t be simpler, there is one course approximately 500 metres in length.
Depending on the race category, runners will run a set number of accents (up and down) on the same course. Runners will stay on the right hand side of the course, to ensure no crossing.
Parking
There will be two primary parking areas for participants - Battery Moltke at the top of L’Etacq Hill cliff path and the Old Milano Bars site car park at La Saline slip on Vert Rue.
Transport
Return coach transportation from St Helier to L’Etacq for both the morning and afternoon sessions will be organised if there is sufficient demand. Runners will need to pre-register for a coach transfer so exact numbers are known in advance.
Event Village
There will be an atmospheric Event village with food, beverages (non-alcoholic), entertainment, massage, sauna facilities, toilets, merchandise, and medics. Prize
