All competitors are asked to take care in the Injebreck section. The bridge at the bottom of the descent from Carraghan is in a very poor condition. It is advised that everyone go to the left of the bridge where it is easy to cross the stream.
Competitors should also take extra care at the stream crossing after the counter checkpoint at Injebreck Farm. The rocks at this crossing are extremely slippery.

All non Isle of Man MMM competitors should be aware that as a result of the changes in the reciprocal health agreement between the Isle of Man and the UK it is advisable that they ensure that they have adequate medical insurance to cover any potential medical care that they may receive while on the island and competing in the MMM.
We advise that everyone check there personal policies to make sure that they would be covered for any treatment required from injuries sustained from competing in a fell running competition.
MFR have made enquiries about runners from the UK and beyond taking out medical insurance while they are over here competing in the MMM.
Local independent Brokers, C Tarleton Hodgson and Son Ltd can arrange a deal with Fortis Insurance for the duration of their stay and takes into account the more hazardous activity of fell running.
Competitors can arrange this by speaking to Kim at Tarleton Hodgson on 01624 622985 or by email: enquiries@cth.co.im

Secondly the event makes a return to the Vasque Ultra Running Championships. This championship is a 12 race series that was first held in 2007. It is growing in stature each year with entries increasing considerably as more and more athletes look for new and harder challenges.

We will be having a meeting on Tuesday the 7th April at St Georges Football Club, Glencrutchery Road, Douglas for all marshals and organisers involved with this years race.
This will be more of a get together and chat other than a formal meeting and we would like anyone who has signed up to help this year or would still like to volunteer to help to aim to come along.
If you have any questions please contact MFR.

An apology needs to be made to anyone entered in the Half MMM who is expecting a free T Shirt. Unfortunatly it is only the full MMM entry fee that includes a T-Shirt the half entry fee does not, the T-Shirt size box on the half MMM entry form is unfortunatly an error.
Again, apologies from MFR.

Runners please note that registration times at St Pauls Hall are as follows:-
Early start 6.45am until 7.15am
Late start 7.45am until 8.45am
Half MMM 11.30am until 12.15pm at car park opposite Farmers Arms St Johns
The new route to checkpoint (1) on North Barrule crosses over the back road that runs from the Hibernia to the Gooseneck. The organisers would like to ask all spectators and back-up vehicles to avoid parking on this road as it is very narrow in places and we do not want the local farmers to have any problems with access.
Would all spectators and back-up vehicles take care where they park at the Black Hut. Please park well clear of the corner on the southern side. Also at Greeba Bridge there is little room for parking. As there are plenty of drinks available for the competitors here at the counter checkpoint we would advise all back-up vehicles and spectators to proceed to St Johns where there is ample parking.
