'Jersey Gorilla' completes 32km run on Durrell Challenge day

Jersey's Will Highfield has run 32km (20 miles) along the island's north coast on the day that should have been The Durrell Challenge.

On social media Will said: "I pulled on my Durrell Challenge 2019 running vest and started a 32km trail run at 6.30am".

Instead of running the 13km trail, Will chose to up his distance by an extra 19km, saying it was a "fantastic run as the whole distance went well".

Will says he still plans to run a marathon at each of the eight Durrell conservation sites across the world to continue his fundraising efforts.

His first marathon is due to be in Assam, India in December this year.
