CURRENT ENTRY LIST

A message from the MS Society (Isle of Man)

/

Thank you very much for the very generous donation from the Manx Fell Runners in relation to Orran's absolutely incredible fundraising effort in running the Montane Spine race. Running 268 miles is an astonishing feat on endurance and unbeatable mental, even more so in the appalling conditions for the year's race. 

The MS Society is a registered charity and we are entirely dependent on general donations from companies, associations and individuals, as well as from fundraising events such as Orran's. 

There are just under 200 people in the Isle of Man who have MS and the funds raised enable the Society to provide a number of vital services to MS patients and to their families. This includes:

  •  the funding of an MS Welfare Officer to provide care, support and guidance to MS patients

  • The funding of specially adapted exercise classes, such as chair based classes, yoga, Pilates and aquatherapy classes

  • The funding of grants to MS patients for essential home modifications, such as ramps, wet rooms etc, and for specialist mobility equipment, such as scooters and off-road walkers etc 

  • The funding of social events such as monthly coffee mornings and quarterly lunches

  • The funding of various MS related events, such as “newly diagnosed” seminars and educational awareness events.

Thanks again for the donation. It is hugely appreciated. I hope that you and all your members have a busy and successful running season. 

James Coulson Laxey Fell Race 2023

/

The 2023 James Coulson Laxey Fell race takes place at 13:30 on Saturday 18th March. Registration at Glen Roy Farm from 12:30. Full safety kit is required for this medium category race whilst short course runners must carry a waterproof jacket with attached hood, waterproof bottoms, whistle and a hat and gloves. The short course will be fully marked.

The longer course has been adjusted to avoid tram line crossings - updated map HERE. Please also review the updated route description.

Due to the recent wet weather, parking in the field at Glen Roy is likely to cause problems for many vehicles. Whilst many heed our request to car share where possible, on this occasion we ask in addition to arrange to park, if possible, in Axnfell or Conrhenny (possibly busy on a Saturday mind) car parks, regroup and then arrive with a car full to reduce the number of vehicles. If in a 4 x4 even better. There should be no problem getting into the field….but getting out may be different. Please help if you can.
