If you know, you know.

The stepping stones. The woodland trails. The hidden corners of Jersey’s north coast that most people never see.

Beast of the East isn’t about closed roads and town centre crowds. It’s about muddy shoes, flowing trails, sea air and a route that keeps changing from start to finish.

If you’ve run it before, you’ll already know why so many runners come back.

If you haven’t, this October is the perfect time to find out.

🏃 Marathon – FULL
🏃 Half Marathon – FULL

With more than 70 runners currently on the waiting list, the response to Round the Rock 2026 has been nothing short of incredible.

In just three weeks, runners will set off on a journey around Jersey’s coastline, taking on rugged cliffs, hidden bays, quiet country lanes and some of the most spectacular views the island has to offer.

Whether you’re chasing a time, a buckle, a ribbon, or simply hoping to make it back to St Catherine’s with a smile, the countdown is officially on.

The hard work is largely done now. Focus on staying healthy, testing your kit, refining your nutrition and arriving on the start line ready for the adventure.

See you on 1st August.
