About the race
The North Coast Race by Trail Monkey is a point-to-point trail event on Jersey’s north coast offering two distances that both finish at Les Landes. The options are:
- 20 miles Full coast route from St Catherine’s to Les Landes with repeated climbs and technical sections.
- 10 miles A shorter route from Les Fontaines to Les Landes that still uses coastal trails and uneven ground.
Both courses are marked at key decisions and a GPX file is provided as a backup. Aid stations supply water, Coke and basic race fuel; the 20-mile course has two stations, the 10-mile course has one. Cut-offs are in place to protect participants and volunteers: six hours for the 20-mile distance and four hours for the 10-mile distance.
Mandatory kit requirements aim to keep participants safe on exposed, remote terrain and include trail shoes, a means to carry at least 1000 ml water, a warm long-sleeved layer, foil blanket or bivvy, a charged phone with What3Words, whistle, food and a reusable cup. Weather-dependent items such as a waterproof outer and sun protection may be required and kit checks can take place before the start.
The event publishes professional timing results and usually supplies finisher medals and event t-shirts where ordered before the clothing deadline. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
