Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management is the new sponsor of the 2017 Run Jersey Half Marathon on Sunday 11 June. It is the largest single running event in Jersey and attracts around 400 runners each year.
Organised by Run Jersey, the race raises money for the Jersey Sports Association for the Disabled (JSAD) which provides sporting opportunities for local residents with disabilities. JSAD’s own wheelers team will be taking part and racing the final section of the course from St. Aubin to the finish line.
Offshore Chief Executive at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, Grahame Lovett, said: “The half marathon is the perfect event for budding runners to aim for.
“We’re pleased to sponsor an event which so many islanders take part in and which raises money for one of Jersey’s largest sporting charities.”
The race is open to those wanting to run to full distance as individuals or as part of a four person team; otherwise, people can share the run in a relay team of two, each tackling approximately 10km.
Run Jersey Half Marathon’s race director, Digby Ellis-Brecknell, said: “Last year, 409 runners crossed the finish line and we hope that this year will attract even more people to compete and raise funds for JSAD.
“The half marathon would not be able to take place without sponsorship so we are very grateful to Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management for its support.”
