Trail Monkey: El Diablo Half Marathon

A trail half marathon along Jersey's north-west cliff paths, from Les Platons to L'Étacq, finishing with tea, cake and a medal.

The El Diablo Trail Half Marathon takes in some of the distinctive landmarks of the island's north-west, including Mourier Valley and Devil's Hole. The course finishes at L'Étacq, where runners are welcomed with tea, cake and a finisher's medal.

The race starts at Les Platons at 9am and heads west to Bonne Nuit Bay before a long climb. A stretch of road to Les Fontaines in St John offers some respite before the course rejoins the cliff paths at Sorel Point.

From here the route passes through Mourier Valley and on to Devil's Hole, followed by a steep, leg-testing descent into Grève de Lecq. Runners then head out of Grève de Lecq towards Plémont Bay, on to Grosnez, and across the headland to L'Étacq.

The final section runs downhill to the finish, where the organisers greet runners with hugs, cheers and a finisher's medal.
