About the Event

The Castle Chase returns as the only midday beach trail run on the island with a meaningful cause. Organized by TMF, this unique relay race invites teams of two runners to sprint across the sandy shores from West Park out to Elizabeth Castle and back during low tide.
Each participant covers approximately two miles over varied terrain that includes soft sand and rugged trails leading up to historic Elizabeth Castle. The event offers an exhilarating challenge for both seasoned athletes and casual runners looking for a fun team experience with friends or colleagues.
Proceeds from the race go directly to Jersey Heritage, supporting their mission to preserve and protect the island's rich historical legacy.
The scenic route along West Park’s coastline provides stunning views of Elizabeth Castle in the distance. As teams make their way back to shore under blue skies, runners can enjoy a sense of accomplishment while contributing to an important local charity effort.
