REGISTRATION HAS NOW CLOSED. TO REGISTER ON THE DAY PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 2PM, WE WILL BE ON THE BEACH NEAR THE TOILETS.

In aid of Philip's Footprints

Welcome to the sign-up page for the Seymour Sprint - the unique race across Jersey's Ramsar site. Bring trainers to get wet, and a sense of fun, and enjoy our race against the tide out to the iconic Seymour Tower (and back again)!

This run takes place along Jersey’s south east coast, out to the historic Seymour Tower and back to the start, racing the tide across this beautiful Ramsar site. This is a 6km trail run to Seymour Slip, or 10km trail run to Seymour Tower, or across the inter-tidal zone, so be prepared to get wet and run over sandy and rocky surfaces. Unfortunately, due to the timing challenges with beating the tide, entrants must be over 18 only.

Safety Briefing: 14:45hrs (2.45pm) prompt

Start time:  15:00hrs (3pm)

Seymour Tower Cut Off (5km): 15:45hrs (3.45pm)

Registration on the day from Long Beach Car Park starting at 13:30hrs (1.30pm). If registering on the day please arrive BEFORE 2pm.

We are being eco-friendly with our race: 

• Due to the confirmation of CoVid-19 in Jerse, we are unable to provide a water station, please ensure you bring sufficient water with you. 

• The run takes place over part of the Jersey Ramsar site - whilst the run is relatively short, any waste (empty gel packs, water bottles etc) MUST be carried with you. Rubbish bags will be available at Long Beach car park. 

To minimise risk we have chosen not to provide refreshments, instead hot and cold drinks, and cakes, can be bought from Rhona's just down the beach and you are welcome to bring them back and join us afterwards. Please note - Rhona's is not taking cash at the moment but you can tap to pay.

If anyone is displaying symptoms - please don't join us! Likewise, if you change our mind and would prefer not to participate please just contact us for a refund.

Please OPT IN to keep up to date with how YOU have made a difference and how Philip's Footprints use your donations - we promise not to overload your inbox.

If you would like to make an additional donation on the day or as part of your registration that would be very much appreciated. People are welcome to raise additional sponsorship if they wish which would be a great help towards our fundraising target, you can set up your own sponsorship page or download a paper copy.

The run takes place over beach and inter-tidal terrain and shoes and clothing will be exposed to sea water and part of the course may be under water. You are expected to use common sense, follow the marshalled route and avoid running over rocky outcrops and through deeper water. 

Please note re 10km Run - This event will be physically challenging - you will be running 10km across uneven coastal/ inter-tidal terrain, through the gulleys. Due to the risk of tidal cut-off, there is a time limit for reaching the turn-around point (45mins - 5km).  You therefore need to be able to run the 10km distance within the 90 minute time set. That works out at 8 min/km or 12.5min/mile (which is a comfortable jog for most). You are expected to be in good health and not have any medical conditions which might prevent you doing that.

In the event of poor weather making the event unsafe, Philip's Footprints reserves the right to postpone or cancel the event.
