Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Is it necessary to have trail shoes?
Absolutely. The north coast can be quite technical and rocky in areas, and the rocks can become very slippery if it rains. Trail shoes are the only suitable footwear for this type of race. Please purchase them well in advance to break them in before the race.
2. Are all items on the mandatory kit list required?
Yes, they are. Given the duration of the race and the possible changes in weather, we must ensure all runners are adequately equipped. If you appear to lack any of the mandatory items, you won’t be allowed to start the race.
3. Is the course marked?
Yes, the course is clearly marked with arrows and barrier tape at each decision point. Whilst there are markings, it wont be as well marked or navigable as a road marathon, therefore we recommend using the GPX file provided on this page if you’re unfamiliar with the course or visiting Jersey for the race.
4. Is there a time limit for this race?
While we welcome runners of all abilities, those who don’t reach the halfway point within 1.5 hours may be asked to retire from the race. However, anyone who runs at least part of the way should easily meet this cutoff, and we’ll support you in your success.
Travel Arrangements:
Bus timetables are available for those needing public transportation. A list of Taxi firms in Jersey can also be provided. Additionally, we recommend joining the Trail Monkey Jersey Facebook group to connect with other runners and possibly arrange car sharing. Please note that the starting areas may not have sufficient parking for all participants due to their small size and use by others.
