Parish Walk

The Parish Walk takes place every year starting from the National Sports Centre at 8am (as of 2006). There were over 1000 enteries each year and they consist of individuals and teams. Not everyone who starts will finish the full course, many will stop at key points like Rushen Parish or Peel. The full walk is only open to competitors who are 21 and over on the day of the walk. The walk covers 85 miles through the 17 island parishes of Andreas, Arbory, Ballaugh, Braddan, Bride, German, Jurby, Lezayre, Lonon, Malew, Marown, Maughold, Michael, Onchan, Patrick, Rushen and Santon.
