Three races in three days planned across the Island
One of the Island's popular events on the athletics calendar is set to return with a good turnout once again this weekend.
The Isle of Man Easter Festival of Running will take place from today (7 April) until Sunday (9 April), and will see three races in three days attracting competitors from both the Island as well as top runners from UK universities.
The event will open this evening at 6.45pm with the 10km road race which will start and finish in Port Erin - that's before the Peel Hill Race tomorrow followed by the 5km races on Douglas Promenade on Sunday.
Athletics correspondent, Dave Griffiths, explains why he thinks the festival has historically proven popular for off-Island athletes as well as locals:
