England U15 team coach and Manx Harrier Elizabeth Corran entered the Vets 3K race at the last minute. This was her first racewalk in exactly 2 years when she last competed in the Dublin Grand Prix in 2001.

In a pair of trainers borrowed from Callum Taylor, Liz won the Vet Ladies 3K race.

Peter (1.43.01) about to be lapped on the 2K circuit by the two Germans Andre Hohne (1.22.30) and Malk Berger (1.23.49). Peter was typically laid back about the race with two good 20K performances already this year and of course his classic victory in the Parish Walk just three weeks ago.
