A spokesperson from Manx Telecom said: ‘The Parish Walk, known for its challenging yet scenic course that spans the Isle of Man’s captivating landscapes, has become a celebrated tradition, attracting participants from all walks of life.

‘Manx Telecom, a proud supporter of this remarkable event, is delighted to extend this limited time offer to its valued mobile customers.’

Participants are encouraged to make the most of this offer due to the price of entry increasing to £50 on March 31.

Dean Morgan and Lorna Gleave were the respective first-time winners of the Parish Walk in June last year.

Morgan finished the 85 miles in a time of 15 hours, 27 minutes and three seconds, crossing the finish line on Douglas Promenade shortly before 11.30pm on Saturday, June 24 2023.

A total of 1,029 people started the event, including the Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer, which began at the NSC track at 8am. Of these, 786 made it to the traditional ‘halfway’ finishing point at Peel, 32.5 miles in.
