The manxathletics.com forum

Welcome to the manxathletics.com forum.  Please share information and your views on the sport in the Isle of Man with others. 

The forum has been operating in its present form since April 2004 and I particularly welcome comments from new contributors, whether you live on or off the Isle of Man, if you have an interest in Manx athletics.

Many people have used the forum to give thanks to the officials or their own supporters when they have enjoyed an event. Contrustive criticism is always welcome as an additional means of communication, although it is not intended to replace formal communication between clubs and other bodies and their members.

If you are unable to find information about an event on any of the Manx websites, then the forum is the best place to ask for help from other people. Whilst you can email me at murray@manxathletics.com  and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, the people who have the answer to your question are likely to visit the forum so it is better that you ask it here. manxathletics.com is an independent site and I do not hold office within any of the five Manx clubs.

There are a few rules. Firstly, you should always use your real name as, apart from making people accountable for what they say, one of the objectives of the website is to make the sport friendly and appealing so please do not hide behind a nickname (anonymous entries will be deleted). Secondly, (it should go without saying) you must not insult or offend anyone. Thirdly, pesistent abuse of rules 1 and 2 will result in the forum being withdrawn.

Thanks for being sensible and I hope you continue to enjoy the forum and the sport.

Murray Lambden

Cross Challenge Round 5 - provisional results from Pulrose

Below are the provisional results from the 5th and final round of the Manx Gas Cross Challenge series, this round organised by Manx Harriers. The event was held at a wet and windy Pulrose Golf Course this afternoon, and attracted a total of 59 hardy competitors and a healthy number of equally hardy marshals and officials.

Among the highlights of today's action were a sprint finish to decide the Senior/Vet Mens race, a thrilling battle in the Under 9s and an exciting finish to the Under 13 Boys series.

I am pretty confident that the results are correct as there were fewer competitors to record than in previous rounds and the recording was excellent - many thanks to Bernie Shimell and Sarah Dowling for spending the afternoon standing in the rain with stopwatch and clipboard.

If you see any errors, please email griffmuss@manx.net or phone/text me on 485855.
