The race, which is split into three categories, Marathon, Relay Race and 3K Fun Run, attracted some 2,500 entrants in 2016 with over 50% of marathon runners coming from off the Island.
With a professional yet friendly atmosphere the event welcomes a variety of runner types, elite athletes compete for prize money and times, while corporate teams vie for the prestige of winning the trophy and many others compete to do something truly amazing for the benefit of others.
