People who are planning to take part in this year’s Parish Walks are counting down the days to this year’s event with charity fundraisers, fitness fanatics, and elite racers all clocking up the training miles.

The June 22 event is the island’s biggest mass participation sports event and there’s still time to enter and get the maximum discount on the entry fee.

People who sign up before January 31 will pay £30.

From February 1 to March 31 the fee is £35. From April 1 until the final closing date on May 5 it is £40.

All entries must be made online at www.parishwalk.com

There are corporate team and overall team categories, and a competition for younger walkers aged 18 to 21 completing the 32.5 miles to Peel.

Manx Telecom has been the Parish Walk’s title sponsor since 2012, but the company’s support for the event goes back to 2007 when it began sponsoring the official timing and results service.

Manx Telecom mobile customers who enter before January 31 will receive an additional £5 discount.
