Rock n Road Runners 60 & 90min Group Trail Runs: Elephant Park – Sand Dunes – Corbiere (Out & Back) – Park Run Special

May 30 at 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Free

PARKRUN SPECIAL

This Saturday (30th May) will be Jersey’s 500th Parkrun!. They’re hoping to get (at least) 500 participants to mark this phenomenal milestone and we really want to help support them with this. We will therefore host our usual trail groups at 8am and 8:30am but will ensure we return to Le Q in plenty of time to join at the start of Parkrun. We’d like to encourage all our runners to turn up to do Parkrun whether they join the trail group first or not. (Please bring your PR barcode – it’s free to register if you don’t have one yet).

The RNRR weekly trail run takes place every Saturday morning along different trails around Jersey. It’s always an ‘Out & Back’ course and we run for time, not distance so everyone can run at a pace they’re comfortable with – without any pressure to cover a set distance. No need to book – just turn up ready to run and say hi to one of the volunteers in bright yellow tees.

  • Group 1 start at 8:00am and will run for about  90 minutes
  • Group 2 start at 8:30am and will run for about 60 mins. This is an ideal group for anyone newer to trails or for those more experienced runners seeking a shorter session. The group is open to runners of all experience levels as we all belong on the trails, but if you’re unsure, feel free to ask for more details in store.

We do ask that runners bring the following with them: trail shoes, charged mobile phone with What3Words app, nutrition & hydration, weather-appropriate clothing.

We do not mark the route so if you are concerned about getting lost, we suggest either downloading or familiarising yourself with the Strava route in the course description below or sticking with someone who knows the route or the tail runner/lead runner.

If you are interested in joining the club, there is more info here.

Happy trails 🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🌄
