Easter Festival of Running organisers 'proud' of 20 year growth

Entries for latest edition close this Sunday

Organisers of the IQEQ Easter Festival of Running say they are 'proud' of the competition's growth over the past 20 years.

The upcoming event is entering its 62nd year after starting in 1963 and it set to take place from 3-5 April.

Race Director Chris Quine says the festival had popular beginnings but stumbled by the mid 2000s:

Registration for the event closes this Sunday (15 March).

Over 500 people have already signed up for the weekend which starts with a 10k in Port Erin on Good Friday, followed by a Hill Run in Peel on Saturday and a 5k run along the Prom on Easter Sunday.

However, participants can choose which race/races they wish. 

Once entries close, people can still enter but only on the day of the event.
