About this packageSome races take you somewhere special. This one takes you to the middle of the South Atlantic — and gives you a warm, comfortable base to return to at the end of every day.

Home in the Heart of Jamestown is the Marathon & Adventure Week Package — a bed and breakfast stay in the island's historic capital, designed for runners and travellers who want to be right in the middle of the action, with everything taken care of.

What's Included

• B&B accommodation in Jamestown for the duration of your stay

• Comfortable en-suite rooms with breakfast included each morning

• Located within walking distance of Jamestown's shops, restaurants and main square

• Return airport transfers between St Helena Airport and your accommodation

• Dedicated transport to and from all events and activities throughout the week

Your Base

Staying in Jamestown puts you right at the centre of island life during Adventure Week. This B&B offers a relaxed, personal welcome — the kind of hospitality St Helena is known for — with comfortable rooms and a proper breakfast to set you up before a day of racing or exploring.

Jamestown itself is the island's historic capital, tucked into a dramatic volcanic valley running down to the Atlantic. Everything you need — cafés, shops, the harbour, and the start of many island excursions — is within easy reach on foot.

After a long race day, there's real value in coming back to somewhere quiet, comfortable, and close to everything. That's exactly what this stay offers.

The Week

Adventure Week on St Helena is unlike anything else on the global race calendar. The island comes alive with runners and explorers drawn from across the world — all converging on a place that most people couldn't find on a map.

Beyond the race itself, St Helena rewards every moment of curiosity: ancient volcanic landscapes, the site of Napoleon's final exile, whale sharks patrolling the Atlantic, and a community that treats every visitor like they were always meant to arrive.

Your transport to and from every event and activity is included throughout the week — so from the moment the plane touches down on St Helena's cliff-edged runway, the only thing on your agenda is the adventure ahead.

The Practical Stuff

Flights operate from Cape Town on the peak season schedule, timed around the marathon and Adventure Week programme. St Helena Airport is one of the most dramatic arrivals in world aviation — a fitting introduction to an island that does nothing by halves. This package, as with all others for the marathon, is based on flying from Cape Town International Airport.
