Hello
I'm in the Isle of Man on 14/15&16th of June and noticed the titled race is on 16th. Does anyone know of a route for the race? Or any information other than what's on the race page.
Cheers

There is this on the web: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie...708b3e932a0d41 showing the CPs.
It's a good race - I've done it a few times. It's not hard to navigate in most weather (most of it is along paths) - for the first part you follow along the coast and then inland, eventually reaching the top of South Barrule before retracing your steps. One of the toughest bits is the re-ascent of the hill at Fleshwick Bay - the path in the middle of this... https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ms...02419,0.004925
I don't think we went via the Carnanes Track CP last year - just followed the path closer to the coast to the summit of Lhiatee ny Beinee.
The initial climb up to Cronk ny Arrey Laa is also a slog, but worth it for the fantastic views from the top. Manx Fell Runners are a friendly crowd - as well as their website they also have an active Facebook group page, so you may want to have a gander at that closer to the race date for any updates.

Thank you, Manx Legs, for your speedy reply.
I've sent a request to the FB page and will have a gander at the maps.
I'm looking forward to running in a different part of the world.
Maybe see you there.
All the best
John
