Meanwhile all those taking part in the 10k race were given a tee shirt and medal.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Andrew Searle, Head of Business at Jacksons said, “We
were delighted to support this exciting new race and a fantastic local charity that provides
life changing services to so many islanders. We are committed to playing an active role in the
community and we had a great team who got involved and really enjoyed the day! We’re all
looking forward to doing it all again next year!”
Bryce Alford, Headway Jersey’s Fundraising and Events Manager said, “The feedback we
have had from the race has been excellent. Runners said the support from the large number
of marshals along the route was really appreciated. The race had a ‘big event feel’ with a race
village atmosphere which was really brought to life by the Jacksons vehicles at the finish and
the mobile display unit which acted as the podium for the presentations. We would also like
to thank the Parishes of St. Brelade and St. Peter for their generosity in allowing us to hold
the race.”
The charity plans to stage next year’s event at the end of June.
Headway Jersey has over 150 survivors of brain injury registered with them as members
and up to 70 who access their services on a weekly basis.
