Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon | Marathon Mile

Set on the scenic island of Jersey in the British Channel Islands, the race offers three distinct categories: the Marathon, Relay Race, and Marathon Mile, consistently attracting over 2,500 participants, with more than 40% of marathon runners travelling from outside the island to take part in this exceptional event. Join us in celebrating this landmark occasion. With a professional yet friendly atmosphere, the Jersey Marathon welcomes runners of all ages and abilities; Elite athletes compete for prize money and course records, whilst many runners participate to do something truly amazing for themselves and for the benefit of others. Corporate teams work together to take on the Relay Race and vie for the prestige of winning their industry trophy, while families, junior and short course athletes test themselves over the Marathon Mile distance through the heart of our town. As a firm fixture in islanders’ calendars, all runners can expect huge support from local residents around the entire route, and to quote a recent runner ‘The Jersey Marathon is a small race, with a very big atmosphere’. The event starts and finishes in the ‘Weighbridge’ area, in the heart of St Helier, Jersey’s capital. Crossing the finish line in Jersey is a special occasion, with large crowds and full media presence, runners can expect a thunderous reception as they complete the course.
