The British overseas territory of St Helena was represented at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne by a small team which took 9 days to reach Australia.
Marathon
St. Helena was represented in the men's marathon by Erroll Duncan from Ascension Island, who at 45 ran in his first marathon. As Duncan left the stadium, he was given a huge cheer as he was already so far behind the rest of the field. He finished the race in 14th position (last among the completers) with a time of 3:11:21.
