The EY Easter Running Festival will return for Easter 2026, with EY confirmed its continued support with a renewed three-year sponsorship.
The four-day festival will once again start on Good Friday with a 5k road race, followed by a cross country race on the Saturday, a relay on Easter Sunday, and a 10K road race to close the event on Easter Monday.
The junior festival will also be running in conjunction with the senior festival, with three races: a beach run on Good Friday, cross country on Saturday, and the 4×1 mile relay on Sunday.
EY Partner, Ove Svejstrup, has participated in the EY Easter Running Festival for a number of years and said he is delighted to be spearheading EY’s long-term commitment to the festival and the Guernsey Athletics Club.
“We’re delighted to be continuing our sponsorship of the EY Easter Running Festival and committing our long-term support to the Guernsey Athletics Club. It’s a privilege to support the Guernsey Athletics Club with such a fantastic, inclusive community event that has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of so many people. I always look forward to this weekend and would encourage you all to get involved; whether you’re new to running, a seasoned athlete, or coming along to support a loved one taking part, it’s always such a great weekend to be a part of.”
Chris Gillman, Endurance Director at Guernsey Athletics Club, added: “The Easter Running Festival has been a staple of the Guernsey Athletics calendar for over forty years and, whilst the event continues to evolve, we are proud that its core principles remain. The festival is always incredibly welcoming, and we take great pride in seeing new and returning athletes each year. Combining the junior and senior festivals makes it a real family and community event. All are welcome and, of course, it’s a fantastic way to showcase our beautiful island.”
