Parking

There is limited public parking at Rocquaine and Portelet, and we have requested for some of the parking to be suspended outside the Imperial Hotel. We would ask that participants get dropped off if possible to ease congestion. The 94 bus is due at Pleinmont at 9.06am and we will not start till that bus has cleared.  

Public buses FREE from Grandes Rocques

Stagecoach have kindly agreed that anyone with a race number/medal can travel on the public buses free of charge from Grandes Rocques at the end of the event.  Please check buses.gg for details, but these times are from the latest timetable and will be leaving Grandes Rocques as follows:

• Route 91 (heading to Town via the Bridge) – 12.01 / 14.01
• Route 92 (heading back to Pleinmont) – 12.12 / 14.12
• Route 41 (heading to Town) – 10.28 / 11.28 / 12.28

On the day…

When you get to the Imperial Hotel, if you need to collect your number, please head to the terraced area at the back of the Imperial Hotel. Number collection will be open from 8.30am. Please pin your number to the front of your shirts.

If you have pre-collected your number, please just make sure you have been scanned (we will give you instructions when you pre-collect your number).

Please can you aim to be there and ready by 9.00am so we can start sharp at 9.15am.

Facilities

There are public toilets at Portelet and at Grandes Rocques.

Bag drop

When you arrive, there will be the option to leave your bag which will then be taken to Grandes Rocques. We would encourage you not to bring too much with you as we are expecting over 300 runners. Please note, you leave your bag at your own risk. 

Marshals and First Aid

St John will be available along the route for anyone who needs medical attention. The route will be fully marshalled and Guernsey Civil Protection will be supporting the event. If you need any assistance, please ask a marshal or one of the Civil Protection volunteers.

Briefing

There will be a short briefing before the start of the event – please listen to any final announcements made prior to the start of the event. If you are intending to walk the route, please can you position yourself towards the back of the start group.

Please KEEP LEFT on the road at all times during the event. If you are comfortable sticking to pavements and public footpaths, please do so. There will be no road closures for this event.

Listen to the marshals, Guernsey Civil Protection and the Police to help keep everyone safe around the whole course.

We would ask that headphones are not used on safety grounds. You must be able to hear the Marshals, fellow runners and traffic at all times to help keep everyone safe and happy during the event

We will be using chipped timings for the first time. We will be manually recording finishing times as a back-up. Please feel free to use your own timing devices. The event is not about who finishes first, but it is about setting yourself a personal challenge whether you are running, walking or a bit of both. 

Food and drink

We would ask that everyone keeps well hydrated during the race. A manned water station will be available along Perelle coast road. A bin will be available just along from the station.

Water and milk (thank you to the Dairy) will be available at the end of the race, along with a small selection of fruit (thank you to CI Coop).

Photos

We will have a photographer and videographer. If you any queries about this please contact amanda.hibbs@guernseymind.org.gg. We will make photos and footage of the event available on our social media pages and website.

We will also have a photo frame at Grandes Rocques. Please feel free to use this and tag Guernsey Mind in on any social media posts and use the hashtag #guernseymindinvestec10k

Litter

Please dispose of any litter in bins along the route and at Grandes Rocques. Our Island is beautiful, and we want to keep it that way
