A lot has been written over the years about 1977, the year when there was only one finisher.
But on two other occasions there were only three. One of them was 1974 when the finishers were:
John Dowling 16:40:07
Ian Turnbull 17:06:52
Ron Ronan 20:40:34
John Dowling, known to many as Paddy, walked for Sheffield.
Ian Turnbull had three finishes and they were all 6 years apart, 1968, 1974 and 1980.
Surprisingly given his record in the End to End and Peel to Douglas walks, this was the only year that Ron Ronan finished.
More about them all another day. More about the other year when there were only three finishers too as there are lots of statistics for the small number of finishers.
