The Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon will return for its 19th edition on Sunday 6 October 2024. The event promises to be an exciting day of racing, fundraising, and community celebration.

Nearly 2,000 runners are expected to participate across various categories, including the Standard Chartered Marathon, the Ravenscroft Relay Race, and the Marathon Mile, which is sponsored by Jersey Development Company. This year’s event is set to showcase the vibrant spirit of the local community.

Runners of all experience levels are encouraged to join, with preferential rates available until Friday 27 September, at midnight. Participants can choose between the Full Marathon, the Relay Race, or the family-friendly Marathon Mile. There is still time to secure a spot for what promises to be an unforgettable day.

Katie Millar, the event manager, expressed how inspiring it is to see so many participants take to the streets, not only for personal goals but to support various causes. She highlighted how runners’ efforts, whether for local or international charities, add deeper meaning to the event and bring the community together for a greater cause.

The organisers are still in need of 30 course marshal volunteers to help ensure the event runs smoothly. Volunteering is a great opportunity for both runners and spectators to support the marathon and contribute to its success. Course marshals play an essential role in creating the lively atmosphere that makes the event so special. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up at www.jersey-marathon.com.

Special thanks are extended to Standard Chartered, the title sponsor, as well as Ravenscroft, Jersey Development Company (JDC), and all other event partners. Their support allows the organisers to deliver a world-class event that unites people from around the globe to raise funds for life-changing causes.

Make sure to sign up before Friday to secure a spot at a special rate.
