Description

The Guernsey Marathon is more than just a race—it’s an unforgettable journey through one of the most picturesque island landscapes in the world. From the moment you line up at the start in St Peter Port, the course takes you on a breathtaking loop around Guernsey’s stunning coastline, weaving through quiet country lanes, lush valleys, and charming seaside roads. With a mix of flat stretches and gentle hills, the route offers both a challenge and a reward, delivering postcard-worthy views at every turn.

What sets this marathon apart is its intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Unlike the bustling city races, here you’ll find cheering locals, enthusiastic marshals, and a strong sense of community that makes every runner feel like part of something special. Whether you’re tackling the full 26.2 miles, joining forces with friends in the relay race, or just soaking up the excitement in the Marathon Mile, there’s a way for everyone to be part of this celebration of endurance. Along the course, well-placed aid stations and the refreshing sea breeze keep you going, making this a perfect event for both first-time marathoners and seasoned runners chasing a scenic new challenge.

With its laid-back island charm, world-class coastal views, and a race experience designed to be both personal and inspiring, the Guernsey Marathon is an event that stays with you long after you cross the finish line. Whether you're here for a new PB, a stunning destination race, or just to enjoy the thrill of the run, this marathon is a hidden gem in the running calendar that deserves a spot on your bucket list.
