Money to be donated to Manx Solidarity Fund
A local man is running a marathon every day for the next 19 days to raise money for the Manx Solidarity Fund.
Christian Varley started the challenge at Peel Castle this lunchtime.
The charity is providing support for Manx residents affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
Donations and details of the daily route can be found on Mr Varley's JustGiving page.
Mr Varley says he was keen to help after seeing those close to him impacted by the pandemic:
