Jacksons in the running to
support Headway again
Fuelled by the success of this summer’s big fundraiser, the team at Jacksons are gearing up
to support Headway Jersey’s charity run again next year.
Hundreds took to the roads of St. Brelade and St Peter to race in the new 10k run for adults,
along with the 3k run for children which took part on Les Quennevais track on Sunday 23rd
June and helped raise £5,300 for islanders affected by a brain injury and their carers.
A selection of Jacksons’ prestigious cars lined the course which started at Les Quennevais.
200 adults ran towards St Peter, past the Jacksons showroom, St George’s School, St Peter’s
Parish Hall and St Peter’s FC before finishing back at the sports centre.
Jacksons test drove the course for themselves with their own team running while their non-
runners helped marshal the race.
Sam Maher came home first in the mens’ race with a winning time and new PB of 32.56,
while Lucy Niemz, a runner from the UK was the first lady across the finish line in 39.55.
Headway member Paul Sharkey hand crafted stunning bespoke trophies especially for the
event from a variety of car parts, creating a unique memento for the individual and team
winners in the race.
