Manx Wilderness Challenge 2023
/This Saturday afternoon (9th Sept) sees the return of the Manx Wilderness Challenge. The event has been run every two years in an effort to keep it feeling fresh. Basically we don't have enough wilderness for an annual event!
Anyway, this year sees the start/finish at the Bungalow.(Please do not recce the area this week!!) Parking is snug, so please car share. The list of competitors is available on sientries, so please check and offer lifts.
You and your partner will need to have signed on between 12.15 and 1.15. There will then be a race brief and pairs will be set off at one minute intervals.
Kit: full safety kit must be carried by both runners and EACH will also need a fully charged mobile phone.
Juniors: A junior who is 14 years or older on race day may race if their partner is over 21 years old. Parental permission will be needed.
I'll be using this event to remember my friend Matthew Mcsevney with a suitable bottle of malt - you'll be invited raise a dream at some point over the afternoon.
Finally, rumour has it that there may be cake afterwards, if Jude, Doug and I haven't eaten it!
