Run for the Trees - Jersey

Run for the Trees is the third annual community running event organised by Jersey Trees for Life at Val de la Mare on 20 September, in partnership with Rock N Road Runners and sponsor Evelyn Partners. Runners follow routes around the arboretum and reservoir, with courses designed to pass tree collections and reservoir views. The event awards a crafted wooden medal to all finishers and a prize for the top fundraiser. Winners will have their names displayed at the arboretum for the following year.

Course details:

• 12 km trail run, age 16 plus, two loops passing all ten arboretum tree collections, trail shoes required
• 6 km trail run, age 16 plus, one loop, trail shoes required
• 3 km out-and-back on the main path, age 10 plus
