True Grit Wetwheels Challenge

A 4.7km obstacle race through Ronez Quarry, descending below sea level and climbing out to north coast views, with shorter youth courses too.

The True Grit Wetwheels Challenge is a 4.7km running race with a difference. The route includes a series of obstacles that have runners crawling, carrying, climbing and jumping their way to the finish. For Youth Challengers there is a short obstacle course (approx 2km) for Year 4 and above, and a long obstacle course (approx 4km) for Year 6 and above.

Set against the backdrop of Ronez Quarry on Jersey's rugged north coast, this challenging obstacle course takes runners on a memorable adventure.

Participants can expect tough terrain, demanding climbs and plenty of obstacles as they make their way around the quarry's gigantic machinery and equipment.

Starting in waves at the top of the quarry, runners descend 30 metres below sea level into the pit before facing the climb back out. By race day, the team at Ronez Quarry may have reached depths of up to 36 metres below sea level. The reward for completing the course is panoramic views across Jersey's north coast at the finish line.
