Good Friday 10km Course

Venue: Rovers Athletic Club - Port Soif
Changing and Late Entries in the club house, bar meals available after the race.

The race starts on coast road approximately halfway between Grandes Rocques Bus Terminus and Port Soif Lane and proceeds north up the coast road.

About 400mtrs before the L'Islet cross roads the race takes a left turn into the lane heading towards Picquerel Point, and re-joins the coast road on Route de L'Islet. The race takes another left turn into Cote des Amarreurs and follows the road until its junction with La route de L'Ancresse.

The race turns tight and heads back towards Vale Church, turning right into L'Abbaye/Route de L'Islet. Shortly after the church turn left into Sandy Hook and at the end turn right into Les Piettes Mielles. Follow this road straight through the L'Islet cross roads and head back to Rovers Athletics Club along the coast road.

Turn left into Port Soif Lane and the finishing chute is situated in the Rovers Athletic club car park.
