A huge thank you to all of our team of helpers who have had to change their plans to run the race on Sunday.
This race takes place on Saturday 10th February and online entries are now open here
Covering the rough and wild terrain around Snaefell, this fell race allows plenty of route choice and visits three scenic Tholtans (derelict farmsteads) in the Block Eary valley.
The full senior race is 9.5 km with 660 m of climb. The junior and senior short course is on the slopes of Snaefell and is less than 5 km.
Start time is 13.30 with registration for number collection from 12.15 until 13.15.
Over 140 runners took to the start line in the long course which we believe is a record entry!
Congratulations to Harry Kneen who took a maiden win in todays Ard Whallan race. I’m quite certain he is the youngest ever runner to win the race at just 18. Amber Carridge took a clear win in the ladies race.
The Stennett brothers battled it out in the short course with Lukey taking the win by a margin of just over a minute from his younger brother. Faith Teare was pick of the ladies, edging out Poppy Clayton.
Thanks to all the marshals, helpers and drinks makers and of course to Sir John Lorimer who kindly started the races and even helped check the runners through to the start line!

There will also be a short course race for the opening round of the Junior Fell League which will start shortly after the full race. This will be over a course of around 4.6kms. Juniors must be 12 years old (13 by 31st December 2024) and the route will be fully flagged and marshalled.
All runners in the short course must carry waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and integrated attached hood, hat, gloves and whistle. Senior runners can also enter the short race with the aim being to encourage newcomers to have a go at the fells in a relatively controlled environment. This shorter distance might also be of benefit to anyone on the comeback from injury. With competitors safety in mind the short race may be cancelled if weather conditions are particularly bad.
The route description and maps for both courses can be found here: - https://manxfellrunners.org/raceinfo. The main race in on the traditional course with checkpoint at the Cronk Breck Gate.
We will have marshals helping with the limited parking at Ardwhallan. There is also the Colden car parks and space alongside the reservoir. Wherever you park please do so considerately and outside the coned area.
We will be having tea and cake after the race. The Club supplies the tea and the runners supply the cake. So get your pinny on and bake something delightful for your fellow runners to enjoy.
