Race rules
From 1 April 2016 a new rule regarding the wearing of headphones in road races was introduced by UKA and the wearing of headphones are not permitted in races on any single carriageway road that is not wholly closed to traffic. As our races are held wholly on open roads the above rule will be applied and competitors not abiding by this rule will be disqualified and no time will be recorded. However, the wearing of ‘open ear’ headphones will be permitted in line with UKA rules.
Course
Course information can be found here
Distances are marked at 1 mile intervals. The markers have been measured from the Marathon start line. For the Half Marathon therefore, these markers will each be 200 yards over-distance. The course has been measured by an England Athletics accredited measurer. Drinks stations are located at approximately 3 mile intervals.
Race Entry
Marathon: The start point for the Marathon is on Mooragh Promenade, approx. 400 yards from Race HQ. There will be a 10 minute warning call for the 8.30 am start.
Half Marathon: The start point for the Half Marathon is on North Shore Road, approx 200 yards from Race HQ. There will be a 10 minute warning call for the 9:00 am start.
Race numbers will be allocated at the registration desk on the morning of race day from 07:00 am or Saturday 10th August between 10:00 – 12:00.
Please note that we do not send confirmation of entry or race numbers by post. Every year we have runners on to us the week before the race, worrying that they haven’t got their number by mail. The numbers are distributed on the morning of the race only. Entries to the race will be through My Race Results and confirmation of entries will be via an e-mail from My Race Results.

The races will be run over the Manx Northern course, starting and finishing in Ramsey. The race HQ will be at the Ballacloan Stadium, North Shore Road, Ramsey, where there are changing and toilet and shower facilities.
