 "Beautiful first half, wish it were an out and back" (about: 2024)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Guernsey Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 Guernsey marathon is a well-organized small (Fewer than 200 finishers) event. If you like all the amenities of large marathons, you may be disappointed. I am happier without crowds. The race starts in St. Peter Port which means you have to climb a significant hill for the first half mile. I opted to walk this hill, as did many others! The rest of the course is fairly flat with a few rollers. The scenery is spectacular and I loved looking around as I ran along the country lanes. You have to run in the road along the coast for a significant portion, and this was problematic as there are no cones separating runners from traffic. Guernsey drivers are generally extremely patient and considerate, but I did worry a bit given the volume of traffic (it was a sunny day so perhaps more people were out than usual) and the fact that we were running on the pavement when there was one but would then have to step into the road when it disappeared. There were also many cyclists in addition to cars, so it was very congested. I actually would have preferred a quieter inland route that took us away from traffic. I certainly could have skipped the second half of the course in the industrial north. It was noisy, dirty, and drivers tended to drive much faster which was scary when we had to run in the road. Couldn't wait to be done with that section. Feed stations were every 5k and they provided bottled water, lucozade, jelly babies, and chocolate. I brought my own gels and supplemental water. Marshalls were friendly and helpful, letting us know where toilets were etc. I would recommend Guernsey if you're not expecting huge crowds (support was sparse but good) and other large marathon hoopla. Note that there is a 6 hour time limit. | |

"Stunningly Beautiful & Friendly" (about: 2014)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Guernsey Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 4 The last 4 miles are along the harbour road and post facilities but the rest of the course is absolutely stunning. Wide sandy coves, fort appointed headlands undulating rich meadows as lush as Guernsey milk. Main roads as wide a a country land and country lands a quiet and bucolic as you can imagine. The sea is everywhere , the rocks and smell of seaweed follow you and it is a pleasure just running around this island. The people are ridiculously friendly and cheerful even though they are thin on the ground but their enthusiasm makes up for it. No isotonics no gels ( in spire of promises) and cotton t shirt were the downside. Great medal was a plus. Do you want a sedate uncrowded marathon in a jewel of an isle? Then ignore the foibles as this is for you | |

 "friendly people on course" (about: 2013)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Guernsey Marathon
COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 3 I got lost on part of the course - the result was that I finished too late to be recorded as a finisher - with only about 120 starters it is puzzling why electronic recording was used I would like to thank the marshalls for waiting for me on the course the organizers for the event. | |

 "Beautiful run around the Island!" (about: 2013)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Guernsey Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 5 A small but very friendly marathon taking in a variety of the beautiful, scenic offerings of Guernsey. The supporters, although small in number provided warm, enthusiastic encouragement. Be prepared with your own fuel as organizers clearly advised water only provided on course. Will defo want to participate in this marathon again - had a wonderful time. | |

"No gels or sports drink on the course" (about: 2013)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Guernsey Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1 They didn't provide any gels or sports drink along the course which I found odd as they were very generous with prize money for 1st/2nd/3rd. No tech shirt either as described on the website, just a cheap cotton one. Disappointed overall. | |

"Could be so much better" (about: 2009)
50+ previous marathons
| 2 Guernsey Marathons
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 2 FANS: 2 Beware that it is on open roads - especially dangerous on last 3 miles or so on approach to finish. No blue line to follow - some people went the wrong way. The first part was hilly, but then it got flat. Not a PB course. Start and finish are at a nice stadium, but it is its position that is problematic - near the island's center. More use of coast (out-and-back style) would be safer and better. The part on the coast is very beautiful and the best bit of the event. Pasta party is too pricey for what you get. The relay event very expensive. There's a mass start with no pens, so expect slower runners ahead, but as a small marathon, it's not too much of a problem. |
