Digby Ellis- Brecknell and Lee Bennet will start at 6am on Thursday 9th May 2013 to run.

This ultra challenge will see them running over 110 miles, following the route of The Channel Islands Way.

On the Thursday  they will run the 48 miles around Jersey before catching the ferry to Guernsey.

Day 2 will be a 38 mile run around the coastal  paths of Guernsey, hopefully finishing in time for the ferry to Alderney.

Day 3 will start with a 10 mile run around Alderney and then onwards to complete the 10 miles around Sark. The final stage of the day will be the blissfully small island of Herm bringing their journey to an end and a well earned pint in the Mermaid Tavern!

This adventure will set the course for the future when the 5 Islands Ultra becomes an official race open to runners from around the word.

We would be very grateful for your support to ensure that this event is a success and to raise valuable funds for our chosen charities.
