The Race

The Intertidal is a tide-shaped running challenge across Jersey's foreshore, linking six landmarks between Gorey and St Aubin's. It's equal parts adventure, discipline, and respect for the sea.

Why it's different

Tide-dependent

The route is built around the low-tide window, requiring careful timing.

Landmark-driven

Collect six coastal icons in one continuous push across the foreshore.

Jersey-first

The island's coastline is the headline act, offering a unique perspective.

Real conditions

Expect wind, spray, uneven surfaces, and variable footing throughout.
