A very busy September coming up, with events every weekend. Triathlon Championship, 2-Day Classic Trial, Granite Mann, End2End Walk and the Circuit of Mann 2-Day Enduro
Parish Walk Videos at Peel and The Finish are now available & linked to the Peel & Finish results. To access your video clip, go to the event results on parishwalk.com (or MTS). Select the "Checkpoint Result" then either Peel or Finish. Click YouTube icon on your result
Another amazing Parish Walk weekend completed. Not without it's logistical challenges, as always. Not least the Santon Box, which suffered a catastrophic battery failure after the 1006th walker. So if you were one of the remaining 201, your time at Santon is an estimate only.
A belated (apologies, but we've been busy!) but warm welcome to James Howitt, who worked alongside us over the Parish Walk weekend (and on other recent events). James brings further strength and experience to the MTS team going forward,
I would like to extend a warm welcome to Clive Dugdale, who will be joining the MTS team for 2023.
Clive will be working alongside me on many of the 2023 events and also covering a few in my absence.

Haven't Tweeted for some time as couldn't log in to the account! Happy New Year 2022 and a quick update on our new Active System, which replaces Tag Heuer.
Used successfully on 3x events so far and very pleased with the performance so far.
A dark day for Manx Mountain Biking: Following a sustained campaign of course sabotage by an, as yet, unknown individual, one of the most revered events in the summer calendar was forced to cancel. Anyone with information about this should contact the organiser and/or the police.
Please note that, due to very bad weather forecast, tomorrow's scheduled IOMCT Cycle Sportive has been provisionally rescheduled to Monday 31st May.
New event on the block is the Corrin's Folly MTB Challenge Time Trial on Sunday 11th April. Entries open tomorrow and checkout the details on our events page
We're back in lockdown, which means a (hopefully) temporary cessation of all events. Meanwhile, during this quiet period, please get your 2021 event dates to us.
New for 2021 - Live tracking. We can provide an integrated solution between the Race|Result timing system and Racemap online live tracking of participants around your course. Contact us for details.
Events are back on the IoM! The Manx 100 is "go" again on the original date and it looks as if we will see a full complement of events for the second half of the year. This is great news for the Island and we look forward to seeing you on various start lines 😉
If and when events resume on the IoM, we will be looking to recruit an additional person to work with us to help manage the full event portfolio. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact us via our contact link.
It will come as no surprise that we have seen a complete cessation of events for 2020. This is in the wake of the corona virus outbreak and consequent restrictions. Please check with individual event web sites etc for further information. Keep safe everyone.
After a few week's downtime, it's the annual Syd Quirk Half Marathon this Sunday (17th Nov). Time to get the trailer out of hibernation and get all the gear charged up. See you all on the Start/Finish line on Sunday :)
Suddenly the end of the timing season is in sight: Busy August, with Quad racing, Canaccord, Marathon & 24hr Walk. September sees the Triathlon champs, 2-Day Trial then the E2E MTB & Walk events, followed by Granite Mann. It'll soon be Christmas!
It's been a busy month with Lighthouses Challenge, Gran Fondo and the Manx 100. Dreadful conditions even worse than 2018. A small mountain of kit to dry out today. Well done to anyone mad enough to finish any of the distances yesterday. Results & tickets are online.
An amazing weekend at the Manx Telecom Parish Walk. Over the course of the weekend, participants walked 51,550 miles. We recorded 11,086 passings at 17 checkpoints and sent 21,991 SMS messages to support crews. And all results updated inside 2 seconds. Very big thanks to my team
Our busiest week of the year now: 5 days of configuring, sorting, charging, testing and packing for the Parish Walk. 1620 walkers, 17 checkpoints, technical team of 4 (Me, Sue, Matt & Mark) and a hundred and one things to check. Looking forward to it! Fine weather, please :)
