86 people a day visting parishwalk.com

I used to be flattered when a couple of hundred people would visit the site on the day of event but now there are frequently more than a hundred on a Monday in the middle of winter.

Here are the number of unque visitors every day this year:

Sponsors lunch

I've just realised that, although I published a link to the following video on the manxathletics.com site on Friday evening, I did not add it here.



The lunch is hosted by Clerical Medical each year for the co-sponsors who have a chance to meet with the organising committee and it helps everyone understand each others requirements that much better for the benefit of those taking part.

The media were also in attendance.

Entries reach 260

The following entered yesterday:

Race Director Raymond Cox asked me to post the judging rules on the website.
