The shortest race in the Rentokil Manx Fell League takes place on Tuesday 15th May. The Buchanan and Pitts sponsored Carraghan Race is held on a 4km out and back course and has a tough 300mtrs of ascent in the outward leg.
Start and finish is to the north of the West Baldwin Reservoir with the event getting under way at 7.00pm. Registration is from 6.00pm at the car park opposite the reservoir. Would all competitors please note that DEFA have granted us dispensation to use the car park as the Colden Plantation is closed at present. Please use the main entance only and do not go into the wooded area. Also please do not park anywhere near the start and finish area.
Parking could be a problem so it would be advisable to car share if possible.
A decision as to what safety gear will need to be carried will be decided on the day depending on weather. Minimum age is 14 years on 1st January 2012.

This is a plea for sponsorship on behalf of Lucy and I, who are running the Great Manchester 10K on the 20th May. This has been a great target for Lucy, inspiring her to train-up for this event: we have had a hired running machine in our back lounge since early January! Just recently, now that the weather is getting better and the evenings longer, we have been out pounding the streets (and hills) too. We have set ourselves the target of £500 each – which seems like quite a lot! So hopefully as many of you as possible will be able to sponsor us – please!
We are running in aid of our local children’s Hospice – Rebecca House. Here are some details from their website;
“Rebecca House offers specialist palliative care for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families. Providing respite, emergency, and end of life care, in a new and purpose built hospice.
Rebecca House offers a home from home with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere in an informal, comfortable setting. It is a safe haven where those most in need are assessed and nurtured enabling them to go on living.”
Unfortunately, being on the Isle of Man, they can’t make use of JustGiving or similar websites which make it easy for you to sponsor people. So if you are able to sponsor us, can you please use the PayPal link at the bottom of the Rebecca House web page. Please enter our names in the “Purpose” box, and click “Update Totals”.
