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.
