Running for Frubbs

Join us for the 7th annual Running For Frubbs 10 mile race, a special memorial run organised by Headway Ambassador Harry McAlinden in memory of his dear friend, Frank MacFarlane.

This scenic race, kindly sponsored by Mel Owers Painters and Decorators, offers a challenge from the Waterfront to St. Aubin, raising essential funds and awareness for Headway Jersey to support individuals in Jersey affected by brain injury.

It’s an ideal event for both runners stepping up to this distance and seasoned runners aiming for a fast time.

Date: Sunday 24th November
Location: Start and finish at Castle Quay, Waterfront (Adjacent to Busy Bees Nursery)
Arrival time: 9:30 a.m.
Race start time: 10 a.m.
