77 entries in a week (1164)

Its not just because I was running the London Marathon but because I was compiling the statistics for the media on the 50 Manx runners that has kept me away from this particular blog. There has certainly been a lot of activity in the past week with another 77 entries. Here they are but remember that my analysis is all unofficial so let me know if there are any corrections (I have a lot of outstanding emails about the Parish Walk which I will eventually deal with.

84 not yet signed up

There were 159 finishers last year but 84 have not entered so far. Some are taking a year out, some have no intention of returning but some have not yet made the effort. Give some of this lot a nudge will you?

Actually nobody knows exactly how many people start. I use the number of people who reach the first check point but there may be a small number who don't make Santon. On the other hand the number of people who register is also inaccurate as some people register in hope that they will get over their cold or injury or that the alarm clock goes off but it doesn't.

Easter Festival takes priority

Much as I like the Parish Walk, it is not the only event in the Isle of Man to be staged with great efficiency by Manx Harriers with the same sort of support from members of the other Manx clubs as is demonstrated by the Parish Walk.
