All the sub 20 hour performers entered for the 2015 Manx Telecom Parish Walk
Thursday, 18 June 2015
28,000 visitors to www.parishwalk.com on race day last year
I noticed that there were more than a thousand visitors to the www.parishwalk.com website yesterday and I looked to compare it with last year.
It looks as if there will be twice as many today as yesterday if the pattern from last year is repeated..
I have tried to simplify the front page, it is one of my pet hates to visit an event website and find details of how to enter on the front page when entries closed weeks earlier, but let me know if there are any other click links you would like. murray@manxathletics.com
Here are last year's visitor numbers:

Here is a statistic - we have extra photograghers
The blog has been quiet in recent weeks. I think I nailed the pre-race statistics earlier than normal.
I have continued to post directly to the Facebook page but I have been distracted by the plans to move the horse trams among the dog walkers, runners, bikes, scooters and everything else that enjoys the safety and space that is Douglas promenade walkway. The Manx Telecom Parish Walk is only once a year but this ill advised promenade scheme is for ever and so I launched Keep Cars and Horse Trams off the Walkway with David Griffin and Tim Knott..
Naturally the exception is during the hours of darkness on Saturday night for the finish of the Manx Telecom Parish Walk!
So who has taken the most photos at the Parish Walk? I suspect it might be Mike Lambden as his involvement over the past decade has coincided with the expansion of digital cameras. He was been the main photographer for the website and was slated for the start, Marown, Santon and Peel on Saturday - about 10 hours on his feet.
But last night Mike was in hospital in Worcestershire suffering from Atrial Fibrillation. His daughter Emma is making her debut in the walk this year, hoping to make it to Rushen, and her husband David Payne is hoping to improve his PB which is Jurby. Mike insists he is fit enough to travel although David will drive when they set off at 6.45 am tomorrow.
I had arranged some cover and so I am pleased to say that well known athletics photographer Stan Hall is going to relieve Mike of Marown and Mike will sit to take photos at Santon and Peel. I'm working on extra cover at Peel too.
Tomorrow evening Paul Jackson and I will be testing the new Facebook photo facility so if you have registered we'll be asking you to pin your number on for a photo. See you there.

Ian Hodgkinson the youngest ever winner of Parish Walk
Although I have been compiling statistics on, what is now, the Manx Telecom Parish Walk for 35 years, it is only within the past 24 hours that I have established with absolutely certainty who is the youngest ever winner.
Some people had said that I was although Dermot O'Toole was correct in his two books on the history of the event.
Thanks to Facebook I have established contact with Ian Hodgkinson who lives in Australia. His date of birth confirms that he was 21 years and 61 days when he won it 1969 whereas I was 21 years and 218 days, a difference of 157 days or five months, when I won in 1978.
The people of the Isle of Man must have known he was setting a record as far more people came to see him that were there for me! Actually, I think the finish time had something to do with it. Ian started at 19:00 and took 17:11:25 and so finished at 12:11:15 on Sunday. I started at 15:00 and walked for 16:19:37 and so finished at 7:19:37.
Apart from the photos of Ian and I finishing, there is one of Ian receiving the trophy from the late Edwin Dudley, the Boundary Harriers president for so many years.
