About the race
Run for the Trees is the fourth annual community trail event at Val de la Mare arboretum and reservoir, organised by Jersey Trees for Life with Rock N Road Runners and sponsored by Deloitte and Evelyn Partners.
Participants can choose between:
- 12 km two-loop trail around the reservoir, passing all ten arboretum tree collections.
- 6 km one-loop trail of the reservoir.
- 3 km out-and-back on the main path to the dam.
The 12 km and 6 km courses require trail shoes. Race winners will have their achievements displayed at the arboretum for the following year. All finishers receive a crafted wooden medal and there is a prize for the top fundraiser. Runners aged 10 to 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Race brief and welcome take place on the day before the races start. Organisers recommend collecting race packs from the Rock N Road shop at Liberty Wharf on the weekend before the event, or from Val de la Mare car park on the morning of the event. Runners should bring their own water bottle; water will be available at the start but not handed out along the courses. Parking is available at Amaizin! Adventure Park opposite the Val de la Mare car park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
