MNDA Jersey Half Marathon 2025 in association with Jersey Spartan AC

Briefing Notes
The MNDA Jersey Half Marathon in association with JSAC starts on the athletics track near to the Clubhouse at 8:00 am. Runners do a single lap clockwise at the start and another one to finish at similar point to start line about 40 metres from Clubhouse at the 200 metre mark. 
Generally we advise runners not to push too hard from Longueville Manor to Hougue Bie as the rest of the course is more “accommodating”.

Your details must to be added on the rear of your race number in case of emergency. There will be spot checks on the morning of the race. The number should be clearly visible on your front especially as we will have manual timekeepers as backup for the chip timing.

Details of parking arrangements will be confirmed closer to the date of the race. Any special requests are to be emailed to roadrunning@jerseyspartan.com.

To take part in the half marathon participants must be aged 17 or over on race day.

PLEASE NOTE RUNNERS MAY ONLY USE BONE-CONDUCTION LISTENING DEVICES as all other listening devices, which reduce ability to hear external noise, add significantly to the risk of a runner not being aware of other runners and Traffic on the route. 
It is not normal for runners to use pavements in Road Races of this kind but in exception on the coast road some runners may feel more comfortable on the pavement when traffic is busy. Please remember to respectfully share the pavement if there are pedestrians. 
Results will be scrutinized and signed off to be published as soon as practicable via a link to the JSAC website, that will be emailed out to all entrants and through a post on JSAC Facebook page.
Information regarding the presentation of awards for runners in the respective age categories will be available closer to the event date.
