Jersey Mencap South Coast Charity Challenge Sunday 17th May 2020

A 15 mile sponsored walk raising vital funds for people with a learning disability in Jersey. 
Fundraise with your feet for Jersey Mencap whilst enjoying the stunning south coast of Jersey. This annual, charity walk has been going since 2006 and regularly attracts 500-600 participants.   Co-ordinated by a small team of staff and volunteers from Jersey Mencap as our main fundraising event.  The money raised will be invested into our much needed projects which provide more opportunity, choice and support for people with a learning disability in Jersey.   

Start line: Sunday 17th May 2020 at La Rocque between 8.30am-9.30am.  Please be respectful of the start time as special permissions have been granted in line with our event times. We are unable to start any earlier than 8.30am. 

There is very limited parking at La Rocque so we suggest participants arrange a lift or park in St Helier and use the No.1 bus from Liberation Bus station which leaves at 9am - this will bring you to La Rocque in good time.   Liberty Bus will kindly be providing a free bus service from the finish line at Corbiere - this shuttle service will make stops at St Aubin and St Helier. 

This event is a charity walk with the purpose of raising funds and awareness for Jersey Mencap.  It is not an official sporting event and we are unable to offer official times.

Jersey Mencap supports children and adults with a learning disability in Jersey and are reliant on this fundraising event to keep their projects going.  To learn more about learning disability and or Jersey Mencap please see our website www.jerseymencap.org

Online registration closes 10th May 2020.

Registered walkers will be able to collect their walk tee-shirt and goody bag on Wednesday 13th May - more details to follow.  After that date, uncollected bags will be taken to the start line.

Checkpoints will be along the course and the finish line is at the Radio Tower near to Corbiere. Jersey Mencap provide some refreshments but request participants to arrive prepared with their own supply of water/snacks.

Each checkpoint will be manned by our lovely volunteers who are there to help ensure the smooth running of the event. 

Photographers will be there to record your achievement and pictures will be posted on our Facebook and website pages.  

Finish Line

Cakes will be served to our walkers by members of Jersey Mencap as a small token of our appreciation of your fundraising efforts. 

A courtesy bus will be provided by Liberty Bus at the finish line at Corbiere to transport walkers back to St Aubin, St Helier.

All proceeds will be used to help children and adults with a learning disability in Jersey. This is our main fundraiser of the year and we are reliant on the money raised through your sponsorship to maintain our projects.  Thank you for choosing to support Jersey Mencap, every penny you raise will be used locally to help offer support to those with a learning disability.
