The final Run for Kezia is taking place on 15 September, in memory of a Jersey College for Girls pupil who tragically took her own life aged just 14.
Kezia Mason's friends set up 'Run for Kezia' after she passed away two years ago.
Since then, over £120,000 has been raised for a charitable fund set up in her name which supports young people's mental health.
On top of this, around £35,000 has been raised from the races in 2022 and 2023.

Race Director Alex Ruddy is hoping to reach similar numbers this year, but tells us sign-ups are slightly down:
"We're really hopeful that we can go out with a bit of a bang, last year we had 800 participants, we're currently just shy of 500.
"It would be really good if people can sign up and encourage their friends to sponsor them to get as much money as possible to channel into Kezia's Fund.
"The past two years we've raised about £35,000. If we can get up to £50,000 that would be amazing and a really good contribution to Kezia's Fund."
We're told this will be the final run as its organisers (Kezia's friends) are off to university.
While this race is coming to an end, Alex Ruddy says this certainly isn't the end of fundraising in Kezia's name:
"Rob (Kezia's dad) and I spoke the other day about potentially doing different events, so maybe something more in line with what Kezia liked.
"Esther (Kezia's mum) often joked that you wouldn't catch Kezia doing the run, but maybe something involving musical theatre.
"We're certainly not going to give up fundraising."
