The Five Islands Ultra 2028 is still in the planning stages so we do not yet have all the answers to some of the questions you may have and we may never be able to answer them all, even after the event!

The order of Islands is to be decided but the thinking is to tackle Jersey on Day 1, Guernsey on Day 2 and spend Day 3 with some island hopping and finish on Sark.

What can we tell you?

This is a once in a lifetime type of race that takes you on a journey across the stunning Channel Islands. Each island offering a unique running experience from the white sands of Herm to the grassy paths of Alderney or the rocky cliff paths of Jersey.

2024 was the 3rd edition, having had a break of ten years, this race will rise once more, ready for 2028.

With only 22 places on offer and with only 33 having ever completed the Five Islands Ultra, this is your time!

Due to the limited places on offer and the uniqueness of this event we would highly recommend you secure your place in 2026 with a fully refundable £100 deposit. (As plans unfold you may decide that you cannot take part due to cost, dates, logistics etc).
