There are many reasons why people take on the challenge of running in one of the three races. For lots of runners, it's simply all about getting round the course! For others, its the atheletic challenge of beating their own personal best.
Many are motivated by having a great time with their friends or just getting of the sofa and getting fit. Most importantly many people use the event, and their efforts on the day, to raise money for charity.
We are currently going through the process of selecting the charities who will benefit from the 2010 event. If you would like your charity to be considered please contact the organisers on contact@jersey-marathon.com
"the marathon is just one day, but the impact of that day can ripple around the world and last for much, much longer. It's what makes the Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon so special."
