Hapi On The Hill 2027, we're back with a new format

Whether you’re taking on your first event or trying to beat your time or distance from last year, there’s a place for you on the hill. Expect a Tour de France hill climb style spectacle: runners tackling the climb, crowds cheering them on, and a community behind every person making their way to the top. Run, Walk, Crawl we don't mind.

We’re coming together to raise awareness and funds for Dementia Jersey, guided by a message at the heart of Hapi:

“The ageing you want tomorrow begins with the choices you make today.”

Registration is now open. Pick your distance, bring your team or take on the hill solo.

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.
