The Guernsey Milk Run Half Marathon is back for 2017 on the 18th June – Father’s Day.
The 2017 Father’s Day Half Marathon will start at 09:00 at L’Eree and will run through town seafront to finish on crown pier. As in 2016, all competitors will be given a free half-litre of low-fat Guernsey milk when they cross the finishing line, as well as a medal and souvenir technical running vest or t-shirt.
For up-to-date announcements you can also visit the Guernsey Dairy Facebook Page here. We post news and further information to the page to keep you informed.
Online entries are now closed, the only means of entry is 10:30-12:00 Saturday Morning 17th outside Fletchersports, The Arcade, St. Peter-Port. There is an entry limit and at this stage it looks as though this will be met – in the unlikely event of us still having space then we will accept entries on the day.
Runners will gather and start near L’Eree shingle Bank and after following a relatively flat route will finish on the Crown Pier which will be closed to traffic. Runners have their own running lane for that last 400m and the road is closed for the final 100m.
This event will be fully UKA licensed over certified course ref 13/207.
Organised by Guernsey Athletics Colts coaches, the Junior Races (ages 5-11) will also be taking place on Crown Pier from 8.30am-9.15am.
