At approximately 48 miles (77Km) and 1400 metres of ascent this race will circle around the island following the stunning granite cliffs of the North Coast to the golden sands of St. Ouen's Bay and the South Coast.
The race starts from the Steam Clock in St Helier and follows the coastal road p[ast the first check point at St Catherine's Breakwater, overlooking the Normandy Coastline. The route then switches from tarmac to trail and the cliff paths start at Rozel; the route is stunning but challenging so do not be fooled!
Round The Rock has proved a favourite for many and they return year after year to soak up the relaxed atmosphere and testing course. Round The Rock is perfect race for those wanting to step up the distance and enter the ultra world or as training for a longer event.
Is 48 miles too far? Why not try Relay Round The Rock and run as part of a 2-person or 5-person relay team.
