The 2024 Jersey Marathon is approaching on October 4, with organizers expecting more than 2,000 participants. The event is one of the island's largest annual sporting occasions and is sponsored by Standard Chartered Jersey.

To assist runners in their final weeks of preparation, marathon host Anna Harding has provided several training recommendations. These include prioritizing consistency over perfection, testing fueling strategies with gels or food before race day to avoid digestive issues, maintaining hydration, and incorporating strength training to mitigate injury risks.
