About the race
El Diablo is a point-to-point trail event on Jersey’s north coast offering two distances.
- Half Marathon: 13.1 miles, start Les Platons, finish Milano Bars, elevation ~2,096 ft, cut-off 4 hours.
- 10k: 10 km, start Crabbe, finish Milano Bars, elevation ~700 ft, cut-off 2 hours.
The course follows rugged coastal paths with rocky, muddy and potentially slippery sections, steep steps, repeated climbs and technical descents. Directional signs and barrier tape mark decision points; entrants are asked to carry the GPX route as a backup. Aid points provide water, Coke and simple treats; the event is cup-free so runners must bring a reusable cup or drinking vessel. The finish includes Trail Monkey support with refreshments and a finisher medal; an event T-shirt is included for entries submitted before the clothing order closes.
Mandatory kit is required for safety and may be checked before the start. Core required items include trail shoes with suitable grip, a suitable pack, minimum 1000 ml water capacity, a foil blanket or bivvy, a warm long-sleeved layer, charged phone with location capability, whistle, food, and the route loaded on a GPS device. Weather-dependent items such as waterproofs, hat and gloves may be requested in final pre-event information. Entrants should plan transport between separate start locations and the common finish at Milano Bars. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
