Festival of Running heads west

Peel Hill climb this afternoon

The Easter Festival of Running heads to the west of the Island today.

More than 500 are taking part in the event, and today they'll take on the Peel Hill race.

One of the organisers is Dave Griffiths.

He says, for many people, this is the 'main event' of the festival.

Proceedings get underway at 2.15pm (Men's) and again at 3.05pm (Women's).

Marshals and police will be dotted around to ease traffic flow, but you're asked to watch out for the runners if traveling this afternoon.
