Entries for the End to End Mountain Bike Challenge opened 13 and a half hours ago and there are already 836 signed up. I think that is almost half the total that will be accepted.
Its already passed the number entered for the Manx Telecom Parish Walk - even though there are more than twice the entries that there were at this stage last year. I spent a good part of last night analysing the entries as they arrived as it was the last day for Manx Telecom's customers to enter and get their £5 discount.
If you want to know more go to www.parishwalk.com and use the links to Facebook, Twitter, my blog or the entry list but don't tell me you can't find out what is going on!
Entries also opened last night for the Ramsey Bakery End to End Walk and the first 5 have arrived.
Back to the Parish Walk - I have published the 1982 results sheet on www.manxathletics.com as a further illustration of how much the event has grown. Count the number of women who took part and compare it to now where for the first time ever more women than men have entered.
Is this just because men and slow to get around to enter? Man or women, enter those races online today - particularly the bike one or it will be too late.

My first attempt at the Parish in 1982! Horrendous blisters - I vividly remember the pain between Kirk Michael and Ballaugh!
