The Marathon Mile, sponsored by Jersey Development Company, starts at 10:00am from the Weighbridge and is open to runners of all abilities aged 6 and over. The route follows a unique one-mile course through the streets of St Helier, created exclusively for Marathon Mile participants.
This year, runners can choose between two waves:
• In It to Win It Sprint Wave – perfect for those looking to race for a fast time.
• Fun for the Whole Family Fun Run Wave – ideal for families, friends and anyone wanting to enjoy the experience together.
Every runner will receive an official race bib with chip timing, an exclusive Marathon Mile finisher t-shirt and an awesome finisher medal.
Participants can wear whatever they feel most comfortable running in, whether that's their school PE kit, sportswear or even fancy dress!
There are prizes for the fastest male and female runners in the following age categories:
• 6–8 years
• 9–12 years
• 13–16 years
The Betty McGough Cup will also be awarded to the fastest female runner under the age of 18.
Thanks to Jersey Development Company, the fastest male and female runners in the 6–12 and 13–16 age categories will each receive £100.
