'The Jersey Round'

Circular Ultra Running Route around the Jersey, Channel Island coast. Approx 46 miles when mapped exactly.

Distance can vary slightly based on the lines taken.

Terrain is Trail & Beach & Road combination. Majority is trail.

Route beginning on this GPX is in St Helier but route can be started from any same point on the map to start and finish! 

Highlights include all the sensational Coastal spots; Corbiere Lighthouse, Grosnez Castle ruins & hundreds of WW2 bunkers dotted alongside beautiful beaches and quaint villages.

It's about 3k from basecamp to Campo Alto, all rock, fairly easy to follow. Trail running shoes or hiking boots are fine. You will pass a laguna on your left and then hit campo Alto. After Campo Alto, there is a vertical pitch of mixed terrain ~20m that will require ice axe and crampons and rope (depending on your exposure tolerance) to access the glacier. Once on the glacier, you will head northeast toward the first false summit. There are a lot of crevasses so allow yourself extra time for navigation. The climb itself is pretty straight forward, just long.
