The week-long festival consisted of three events, held on separate days: a 10K road race (with a 3 kilometre fun run/walk option for supporters), a full or half marathon two days later, and, at the end of the Festival week, the ascent of the famed Jacob's Ladder, a 699 step climb out of Jamestown. The festival lays claim to the title of the most remote run in the world, due to the fact that Saint Helena island is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. There is no airport and the island's only regular link with mainland civilization is the RMS St Helena which can accommodate only 130 passengers aboard its well-appointed suites. This limits the number of runners which can participate and may well also make it the most exclusive running event.
