Numbers up for Parish Walk

More finishing entire course

This year's Parish Walk saw the event growing in popularity.

Around 1,300 people took part in the 85-mile race on Saturday, with entries up 15% on last year.

A higher proportion of entrants made it all the way around the course this year, with 184 finishing within the 24 hour time limit.

The last to cross the line did so with just four seconds to the cutoff point at 8am.

This year also saw a higher number of visitors from off-Island taking part.

Race Director Ray Cox says the event is about far more than just the winners.
