Race director says weather conditions look 'ideal'
The 2024 Parish Walk is now underway, with hundreds of walkers having made their way onto the 85-mile course from the NSC at 8am.
More than 1,200 people signed up for this year's event, including defending champions Dean Morgan and Lorna Gleave.
The event is a big fundraising day, with Race Director Ray Cox estimating it generates around £600,000 for charities each year.
Ahead of the start, he told Manx Radio's Ben Hartley the weather conditions for this year's race look perfect:
Post Office to raise letter prices and bring in stamp expiry dates
New extradition laws would back Moneyval's recommendations
Conviction of 'key figure' in international organised crime group welcomed
Select Committee outlines potential consequences of removing Bishop's vote
