Conquer Old El‑Diablo!
El Diablo is Jersey’s rugged north‑coast challenge — two distances, one unforgettable journey.
Starting from Les Platons at 9am (Half Marathon) or Crabbe at 10am (10k),
the course plunges down to Bonne Nuit Bay and Grève de Lecq, before climbing
steeply back onto the clifftop paths. From here you’ll take in Sorel Point, the majestic
Mourier Valley, and Devils Hole, with leg‑burning climbs and quad‑smashing
descents to test your grit.
As you push on, the trail rolls out past Plémont Bay and Grosnez, before opening
up across the wild headland towards L’Etacq. The final stretch brings a welcome downhill to the
finish, where our team will be waiting with hugs, cheers, and your hard‑earned medal.
Your entry includes a race T‑shirt, medal, insurance cover, a
fully marked course, and water, Coke and treats at the aid stations and finish.
Whether you take on the Half or the 10k, you’ll be part of an ever‑growing, supportive Trail Monkey community — and
you’ll have conquered Old El‑Diablo!
