Cape Destinations: Jersey, UK
Sunlit coastlines, world-class sporting events, and an island culture that feels a world away — Jersey is more than a destination; it’s an experience. In 2025 and 2026, Jersey will once again welcome athletes and fans for two signature events: the Supertri Jersey Triathlon and the Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon. At Cape, we offer curated travel and accommodation packages that connect you seamlessly to the spirit of these events — with all the style, ease, and hospitality you expect.
Why Jersey?
Though technically part of the British Isles, Jersey is closer to France than mainland Britain, lending it a unique character — half-British charm, half-French flair. Think winding cliff paths, golden beaches, boutique towns, and a food scene that blends Michelin-starred ambition with fresh local produce. It’s small enough to explore in a day, yet packed with culture, natural beauty, and a growing calendar of international events.
Beyond its scenic beauty, Jersey is also deeply layered with history — from medieval castles like Mont Orgueil to underground tunnels built during World War II. The island’s compact size means you can explore Neolithic dolmens in the morning, dip into artisan boutiques in St Helier by lunch, and enjoy seafood straight from the boat by sunset. There’s a story behind every coastal path and granite wall.
And then there’s the pace of life. Jersey moves gently — even during its busiest events. It’s this rare balance of energy and calm that makes it ideal for combining a sporting weekend with true rest and reconnection. Whether you’re watching the race unfold along the promenade or recovering in a beachside café, Jersey offers a different rhythm — immersive, enriching, and deeply restorative.
Jersey in Motion: Two Standout Events
Jersey may be small, but its sporting calendar punches well above its weight. From elite triathlons to island-spanning marathons, the island draws athletes, spectators, and supporters from across the UK and Europe. These are not just races — they’re celebrations of community, resilience, and Jersey’s unique terrain. Below are two of the most anticipated events where sport meets scenery in spectacular fashion.
Date: 21 September 2025
Location: Waterfront and coastal roads of St Helier
Elite athletes and weekend warriors alike come together for this coastal spectacle. The Supertri series (formerly Super League Triathlon) returns to Jersey with its fast-paced, spectator-friendly format — racing right through the heart of the island’s capital. Whether you're cheering from the boardwalk or enjoying waterfront hospitality, this is Jersey at its most dynamic.
Date: September or October annually
Route: Across the island, starting and ending in St Helier
Now a fixture on the autumn running calendar, the Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon draws competitors from around the world. The course is both scenic and challenging, taking runners through lanes, coastlines, and countryside — all just minutes from the capital. It’s the perfect blend of competition and coastal escape.
Where to Stay
Whether you're travelling to Jersey to compete, support, or simply soak up the atmosphere, where you stay can shape the entire experience. From luxury retreats to practical, well-located hotels, the island offers a range of options that cater to different styles of travel. At Cape, we handpick accommodations that balance comfort, convenience, and character — placing you right where you need to be for race day and every moment in between. For clients traveling with Cape, we recommend two standout options based on comfort, location, and access to the action:
Tucked away on a quiet street in the centre of St Helier, The Club Hotel & Spa is Jersey’s answer to discreet, boutique luxury. With sleek, contemporary rooms, a Michelin-starred restaurant (Bohemia), and a serene rooftop terrace, it’s the kind of place where every detail is considered, yet nothing feels overdone. The spa is a destination in itself — all stone, steam, and soft light — and you're only steps from the marina, shops, and race-day action.
Why we like it: It feels exclusive without being showy, and everything is effortlessly close — from the Supertri start line to the best cafés in town. For clients who want a calm base with a bit of polish, this is exactly the right kind of elegant.
How can we make your experience complete:
– In-room athlete breakfast packs
– Post-race spa treatments & recovery sessions
– Table reservations at Bohemia or nearby bistros
Sitting just above the town centre with panoramic views across St Helier, Hotel de France blends traditional hospitality with modern comfort. It’s larger than most island hotels, with spacious rooms, one of Jersey’s most extensive wellness centres, and quick access down into town. It’s a favourite with athletes thanks to its full-service gym, health-focused dining options, and peaceful atmosphere — all within minutes of the event routes.
Why we like it: It’s easy, efficient, and well-equipped — everything from bike storage to nutrition-friendly menus is thought through. You’re close to the action, but with just enough distance to relax between events.
How can we make your experience complete:
– Priority athlete check-in and welcome amenities
– Transfers to and from event start/finish lines
– Tailored wellness itineraries for recovery or wind-down days
