The JOGLE

Check-point food:

Rember - The JOGLE is a cup-free race, so you need to bring your own reuseable cup.

We operate a flexible check-point strategy on the JOGLE.

It is important that we gain an early understanding of the group of entrants each year. From Day 1 we look to offer check-points at 8 mile intervals. Generally though this gets extended in distance by the request of runners. That said, if just one runner needs extra support, we will be there for them.

Example CP food items (which may change) are:

Malt loaf, cake, jam, peanut butter, cheese or marmite sandwiches, sweets, squash, cola and water.

After the Day 1, we soon find out the likes and dislikes of competitors, and where possible we will try to source special requests by competitors, although this may take a day or two depending on our location and the need to support the race.

We will ask you to fill in our dietary needs form to note your food preferences and highlight and allergies that you may have. You will be burning a significant number of calories so it is important we provide food which is suitable for you. If you do have a special dietary requirement we may ask you to provide supplementary food items to accommodate this.

JOGLE entry options:

Run the JOGLE for our nominated charity, The PAM Foundation, and pay only a non-refundable deposit of £300.00 – and then commit to raising a minimum of £4,500 for the charity. We advise that you book early to maximise your time to raise the money. The minimum value needs to be raised within four weeks of the race to secure your place. On this basis you can also secure a place for the 2024 or the 2025 event which would allow more time to raise the sponsorship money.

All deposits and payments are on a non refundable basis. However, during the check-out stage you will have an option to upgrade and include your own personal protection insurance (See tab on left for details).

Total cost by instalments of £3,200.00, payable by:

I’m Melissa, married to my favourite running buddy, Justin who is also running this event. I have been competing in ultra running since 2011; but this will be by far the biggest challenge of my running career to date and a long held dream to run the length of our island. Prior to becoming an ultra runner, I competed in triathlon, duathlon and cycle time trialling.

We live in beautiful East Devon and I will certainly be making use of the hilly terrain to get my legs super strong for this run and the sea for recovery ice ‘baths’.
When I am not running or working, I enjoy spending time with family, beach life, fitness training, water sports and cycling.

As the wife of a Royal Marine veteran and devoted cat mumma to 3 rescue kits, I will be raising money for two incredible charities with personal significance - The Royal Marine’s Charity and Hector’s House Cat Rescue. Please follow the link to my fund raising page to read more!

Hi my name is Heidi.

I live in Torbay, Devon with my husband and children. I am a qualified nurse and work full time, but in my spare time I love to walk my dogs and love to run. I started running 14 years ago when I was challenged by a friend to run a half marathon and totally shocked myself as I completed it in 1 hour and 36 minutes! So I carried on running.

I have chosen to take on the challenge of JOGLE to accomplish a desire to conquer this amazing event, as well as to enable me to raise as much money as possible for a charity that is in need of support: Rowcroft Hospice.

2023 has been a devastating year for our lovely family with the loss of my Brother in Law, Tim Chant and just 16 days later my Dad, Mike Steer. Both had been diagnosed with cancer and had bravely endured treatments, and fought so hard, but both were given a terminal diagnosis. We were able to provide End of Life care in their own homes with the support of Rowcroft Hospice and the hospice at home teams, for that we were truly grateful. The hospice team were amazing and helped our family during this really difficult time.

The JOGLE route will be an amazing experience for me as many of the places on the route I have stayed or visited with my family on walking holidays. This will be my encouragement and inspiration to keep running, as well as my determination that I have, will hopefully help to allow me to complete this from start to finish!

I am hoping to raise as much money as possible for Rowcroft Hospice to help other families in the future. If you would like to support me please click HERE.

Hi! I’m Ngaire Guzzetti- despite how the name looks am a British extremely (below!) amateur athlete, having participated in a variety of triathlons however only one marathon and one half previously.

I have a milestone birthday approaching, and crossing the finishing line at the London Marathon felt quite anti-climatic (so many people being ushered through!) thus I wanted to attempt something really special, whilst raising money for a good cause- and so the idea of joining the JOGLE 24 team was born!

When I’m not training, I work as a Procurement Consultant and am a mum to two wonderful humans, Matilda (6) and Melody (4). They’re the best cheerleaders and can usually be spotted holding extremely colourful signs (what little person isn’t obsessed with rainbows?!).

I’m fortunate enough to be raising money for a charity incredibly important to me, having a close family member affected by spinal injury- please do read more about the fantastic charity, Spinal Research, on my fundraising page HERE.

Whilst nervous, I’m really looking forward to joining Team JOGLE 24- they are an inspirational bunch and I’m honoured to be a part of such an exciting adventure.

Ngaire is also raising money for Spinal Research and her sponsor page link will be added shortly.

I‘m Adrian from Hagen (North Rhine-Westphalia) in Germany and I am keen on running long races.

In 2017 I crossed Germany by foot with Joey Kelly and some other guys from North to South, ran several races of 200+ km and finished TransEspana last year.

In my ultra-running career I had two fails:

at Spartathlon 2019 I missed the cut-offs quite early and was out of the race and in 2021 at the 48 hours of Brugg (Switzerland) I had to stop because of stiff quads, which made it impossible to run any further.

On both occasions I met Jean-Louis Vidal and learned a lot from him. I also changed my training after he gave me his book, which suits me much better, as I disliked the long runs at the weekends.

After Transeurope 2022 was cancelled, I got the opportunity to run TransEspana 2022.

It was a wonderful experience, I got to know a lot of nice people and enjoyed life in that „stage-race-bubble“, suffering together, but more often having fun and laughing together, all having the one goal in common to reach the finish line of the last stage.

Then my friend Hilmar Langpeter told me, he would like to run the 6 Days in Policoro, Italy. It didn’t took me long to decide I would join him.

Later we found out, it would be the first GOMU World Championship in 6 Days running. The training and race-strategy of Jean-Louis helped me a lot (2nd place individual ranking and 1st place in the men’s national team competition).

At Policoro I made many new friends, above all Rodrigo Freeman, who shared the bungalow with Hilmar and me. We three became really good friends and as Rodrigo is living in Cornwall, not far from Land‘s End, he will be an additional motivation for me to run JoGLE until the end.

I heard about JoGLE many years ago, but thought that it would be too hard, but now I want to take on the challenge and make it to Land‘s End.

Another point in running JoGLE is my/our special connection with the UK, as my girl-friend Sonja and I have been to England several times (London many times, East Sussex also, Bath, Jersey, myself also at Liverpool for six weeks, Oxford and Canterbury). We also made a road-trip through Scotland with my sister and her husband.

Hi, I'm Alex,

I have been a sports lover all my life and running has always been my number one from starting at track to now ultra running. I’m always looking for the next challenge and adventure to push myself physically as well as mental.

I see the jogle as the ultimate challenge and an amazing opportunity to achieve something well known in the running community as well as explore a lot of Britain a long the way. Im looking forward to running the length of the country with like minded people helping each other to get to lands end.

I'm also raising money for the PAM Foundation. PAM Foundation has been established to improve the well-being of expectant and new parents by addressing pre- and post-partum mental health illnesses. This is being done through building awareness, education, and supporting research and care associated with these issues.

To donate, you can find my sponsor page HERE.

JOGLE Maps and gpx files:

URL are continually adapting the route and it is a work in progress that has, and continues to, cost us a not insignificant amount of money and time.

• 50% discounts on any entry to any of our other URL events leading to up the JOGLE race day date. If you are paying on instalments the discount will pro-rata to the amount you have paid.

• At John O’Groats you will be provided with Hi-Viz clothing which will consist of a showerproof jacket and six technical tops. This clothing will be branded with the URL Logo, the race name ‘JOGLE’ and your personal name.

JOGLE Time Restrictions:

The JOGLE is incredibly demanding and few athletes will have the fitness or resolve to complete the entire 17 days. As such Ultra Running has preset cut-off times along the route, based on a minimum average of 4 mph / day.

Under no circumstances will a runner be allowed to continue on the course after 22:00.

On completion of Day 1, URL will be able to determine the slower entrants against the quicker entrants. At this time you may be requested to start at split times to make race support for everyone viable. For some this may be an earlier start time than expected, for others a later start time. In doing this URL gives everybody the best opportunity of completing the challenge.

Earlier starters still need to maintain the minimum of 4 mph.

As you reach Day 10 of the JOGLE we may offer more leniency on the 4 mph restriction.

For a historical summary of all of our JOGLE competitors times please see the 'Previous Years Results' below this page.
