The S.A.R.K. 10 race day is an enjoyable and healthy day out offering a chance to see beautiful Sark with a range of race options for either serious runners or casual joggers.
As a nonsponsored event the Sark 10 is organised purely for the pleasure of those wishing to take part and has been a great success for 27 consecutive years. The current course takes the runner right around the circumference of the island including crossing La Coupee to Little Sark before entering the shade of Dixcart woods. The views are simply spectacular and the multi terrain ever changing. Most runners finish somewhere between one and two hours though there is an option for runners to branch off from the main race and complete a 5 kilometer distance - which would take an average of 25 minutes.
Children of all ages will have the option of running 1 or 2.5 miles. These races truly cater for all participants whether interested in a personal challenge or seriously committed to sport.

The facilities are first class including modern changing rooms, showers and toilets.
There is also a licensed bar and very good hot and cold food served all day. Sark boasts a number of guest houses and hotels as well as a few interesting shops, public houses and a museum.
There are several sailings to and from Guernsey throughout the day and discounted fares are available.

Sark’s greatest attribute has to be its natural geographic and marine beauty. The people of the island warmly welcome visitors to come and enjoy the island at the annual Sark 10 races.
