PICTURES BY PAUL JACKSON

Tony Okell remains unbeaten - he won for the fourth time (adding to hatrick between 2000 and 2002). His times have only varied by 67 seconds.

The event included one of the best female races on Manx roads. Only 29 seconds separated the first three. Wendy Ross (168) leads Jane Mooney (119) and Dawn Yates (147). Jane eventually took the title by 23 seconds from Wendy with Dawn just 6 seconds in arrears. Also pictured are David Craine (163) and Chris Pedley (146).

Carolyn Brown had a terrific walk to break the record by 4 minutes - that is the course record not just the women's record! Second placed Sean Hands, the National 100 mile champion, also broke the old record which he held.

The well known and the not so well known flying high. Picture by Stan Hall.

Robbie Callister (162) was one of the Island's most successful ever marathon runners (personal best of 2.27.59) before, after taking various breaks from the sport, he concentrated on the Parish Walk and End to End Walk with great success. Kevin Loundes (172) ran his first half marathon in August (Close Bank Isle of Man Half Marathon) in 1.31.47 and ran his second on Sunday in 1.21.15. What a breath of fresh air to have new faces - Kevin also ran well in the Manx Gas Cross Challenge in Port St Mary.

Ever wondered what happened to all the old features at www.manxathletics.com when, prior to June 2004, it was updated daily? Well, most of them, including the old news pages,  are still available (use the Google search below) but, if you would like a diversion, here are a couple of links to many of the features.

FEATURES PAGES 2004

FEATURES PRIOR TO 2003

manxathletics.com is an independent site designed, edited and funded by Murray Lambden.

The site was updated daily for three and a half years until June 2004 when the webeditor took a sabbatical. It now serves as a portal for Manx athletes with special features on a few events and ad hoc publishing when time permits without giving in to the addiction! Old features can be found by using the Google search below.

manxharriers.com which is edited by Paul Jackson, is the highly recommended sister site of manxathletics.com
