Weekend Running Retreat
A fantastic weekend of guided runs, all set against the beautiful and varied backdrops of Guernsey and its neighbouring islands. Whether you like quiet country lanes, stunning rocky cliff paths, or long sweeping bays, we have running routes for everyone.
There will be opportunities to socialise and experience different aspects of island life, such as sea swimming and coastal yoga, and you'll also learn about the history of Guernsey. A strength and conditioning assessment with Olympian Lee Merrien also means you'll leave with tips and advice to make the most of your running.
The running and the routes can be adjusted to cater for all abilities, so please don't think that this is only for elite athletes.
