Organisers of the End 2 End Mountain Bike Challenge say they are happy with how the race went on Sunday, and are already thinking about how they can expand it next year.
The number of entries permitted - 1700 - will not increase, as that is seen as the maximum which can be accommodated practically on part of the course.
There were also around 300 non-starters, which weren't replaced, something which may be looked at for the future.
There are definitely plans to add more events to the programme, possibly turning it into a weekend festival.
Steve Honeybone of the Manx Mountain Bike Club says some ideas are emerging already:
Athletics: Island duo earn coveted Six Star medals
Darts: Callum Brew retains Hungarian masters title
McGuinness and Harrison to form TT 2027 Honda lineup
Post box turns gold to honour Bostock
