Entries for the Microgaming Play it Forward Lighthouses Challenge Sportive on Sunday, July 8, remain open until midnight on Saturday, July 2.

Promoted by SAS Events, entries were up to 220 at the start of this week (ahead of last year), of which around 100 are from the UK.

There is a choice of distances, with varied entry fees (quarter-circle £20, semi-circle £25, full-circle £30). The full-circle covers 103 miles.

All finishers will receive commemorative medals.

New this year is an electric bike class and another for Byegone Bikers where riders will be invited to wear classic kit and use their old bikes.

Riders will receive an event T shirt, energy bar and other goodies. The feed zones will again be at Rushen United’s ground in Port Erin, St John’s FC and Ramsey Rugby Club on Mooragh Promenade.
