El Diablo Trail Half Marathon & 10k
El Diablo is a point-to-point trail event on Jersey’s north coast offering two distances:
- Half Marathon: 13.1 miles, ~2,096 ft elevation.
- 10k: 10 km, ~700 ft elevation.
The course follows rugged coastal paths with rocky, muddy and potentially slippery sections, steep steps, climbs and technical descents. Both distances finish at Milano Bars. The Half starts at Les Platons and the 10k starts at Crabbe; competitors should plan transport accordingly.
Entries include an event T-shirt if entered before the clothing deadline, a distance-specific finisher medal, course marking at decision points with GPX backup, aid support with water, Coke and simple treats, race photos when available, and marshals plus a finish area with refreshments. The event is cup-free; runners must carry a reusable cup or drinking vessel.
Mandatory kit must be carried to start and may be checked. Required items include trail shoes with grip, a pack or means to carry kit, at least 1000 ml water capacity, foil blanket or bivvy, a warm long-sleeved layer, charged phone with location app, whistle, food and sufficient battery, and the route loaded on a device. Weather-dependent items may be required and will be confirmed before the event.
Aid points are simple and runners are expected to be self-sufficient between them. Walking steep climbs is normal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
