This September, Guernsey Mind and Investec are challenging you to lace up your trainers for the annual Investec 10K run. 

We all know exercise is good for our bodies, but it’s just as crucial for our minds. Physical activity sparks the release of endorphins, our natural mood-boosters. It’s a powerful way to shake off stress and anxiety, sleep better, and feel more energized and focused.

You might be new to running, want to move up from 5K to 10K, smash your personal best, or team up with a buddy to tackle the distance together. This is your year to take on the 10K challenge.

Guernsey Mind hopes the challenge will inspire people to get moving and give them a tangible goal to work towards. To help get race-ready, local running legend Lee Merrien has created bespoke training plans and will lead special sessions in the run-up to the event. The Guernsey Athletics Club is also lending their expertise to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race day.
