Welcome to Marathon Club of Guernsey. The Club was formed in October 2008 by a small group of marathon runners who wanted to help and encourage others, whether they be complete beginners to running or experienced athletes, to complete the magical distance of 26 miles 385 yards.
Since we formed, our members have run marathons in Jersey, London, Barcelona, Dublin, Medoc, Abingdon, Chicago, New York, Venice, Edinburgh, Paris, Mont St. Michel and of course Guernsey. Over twenty members have now completed their first marathon – all coached and trained by the Club.
As Rudyard Kipling is supposed to have written :
“ IF you can fill each unforgiving minute
with 26.2 miles of distance run,
Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it,
And, what is more –
You’ll be a marathon runner my son “
