The money raised from the event supports the Guernsey Island Amateur Athletics in attending the next Island Games.

It was fantastic to see a record number of teams enter and so many supporters turn out to cheer them on. The race has grown year on year and has become a highly competitive but enjoyable annual event for local businesses.”
The Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management Men’s team crossed the line in ninth place with a time of 23:15, while the Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management Women achieved a time of 36:24.
