Walkers can be accommodated, but if you are walking you do need to be able to cover the 3.4km distance in 40 minutes or less. Anyone with mobility or support needs is asked to get in touch with us via pojcsr@ports.je and let us know. We will discuss with you how we can best support and ensure your access and participation in our event.
