TMF Island Walk

This coming Saturday more than 1,500 walkers will take on the annual Island Walk sponsored by TMF Group. Starting at 3am from Elizabeth Harbour the Walkers will be joined by the Lieutenant-Governor Jeremy Kyd who will start this years LG challenge that goes around to St Catherines.

The tough walk is a stark contrast with the beauty of the route that passes along Jersey’s beautiful coastline, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and stunning countryside. The event is split into 3 categories:

• Main Walk (48 miles) – for those who relish the physical challenge. Starting at 3am from Elizabeth Harbour Ferry Terminal
• Lieutenant Governor’s Challenge (13 miles) – ideal for those with young families, or less of an appetite to conquer all 48.1 miles at once.
• Relay (48 miles) – for teams of four to take on the main walk. Starting at 3am from Elizabeth Harbour Ferry Terminal
• One TMF Challenge – ideal for all abilities taking a shorter route from Bel Royal car park to the Finish at the Waterfront.

The gruelling nature of the walk is what sets it apart from other charity events and why over the years more than 30,000 participants have raised £2.8 million with every penny raised by walkers being distributed to local organisations.

With nine local Charities looking to benefit from the funds raised by Walkers the Charities will be hoping that the Walk reaches it’s target of raising over £100,00.

In addition this year sees the second ONE TMF Challenge walk that goes from Bel Royal to the finish at the Waterfront. With double the number of walkers than last year this is a challenge that is open to all abilities where we hope to provide an opportunity for all members of the community to be part of the Island Walk.
