The Scillonian Sprint.

Saturday 9th May 2026

Scilly60 Events is excited to introduce an event designed especially for day-trippers looking to experience the thrill of island running in a single unforgettable visit.

Choose from two stunning challenges:

• 17 km Circumnavigation of St Mary’s

• 8 km “Best of St Mary’s” Route
  Both with a generous 3-hour time limit.

Running for a Cause

100% of event profits will be donated to two local charities, supported through a minimum race fee of £20:

Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust – 50%

This incredible organisation cares for the natural beauty of the islands, including maintaining the majority of the coast paths that the runners enjoy.

Adam Mallon Sports Fund – 50%

Supporting improved sports facilities, opportunities, and mainland competition access for pupils at the islands’ school. The fund has helped students from 8 to 16 years old compete in athletics, cricket, tennis, football and rowing.

Experience the Real Scilly

Whether you’re looking for a one-off adventure or a taster ahead of future events, the Scillonian Sprint is a fantastic introduction to trail running on the Isles of Scilly.

To celebrate your achievement, all adult participants will receive a complimentary Scilly60 Pale Ale, generously provided by our sponsors at Firebrand Brewing Co. As well as a piece of Artwork by Erica Hicks Prints mapping out your journey with us.
