The course is between Saint Malo, Brittany, France and Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe.

The Channel Islands have a stand in the event ‘village’ until the start of the race on 6th November. Each day they are showcasing the Islands’ produce, providing tasters and running competitions to win a gift hamper and a 2 night stay in Guernsey.
