Dave Phillips Memorial road run round 3
Sponsored by Sweeney Todd
Numbers were down a little on previous rounds due to runners being involved in other events on island this weekend. Still there was a healthy turnout of 65 runners in total, the wind and odd rally car made running interesting but all the runners seemed to enjoy the event. A big thank you to all the marshals and officials who stood around in the cold this evening so that the races could be run.
The next round is on the 15th June.
All results are provisional and subject to change, please email wac@manx.net if you spot any errors.

Record entry at Narradale
The first long race in the 2012 Rentokil Manx Fell League on Sunday 1st April saw a record entry of 50 runners - a great turnout for one of the tougher courses in the calendar.
Sunny conditions for the Up and Running sponsored 20Km race led to a number of records being broken.
This contrasted with the last race in 2010, when wind, rain and navigation caused major problems for the small field of 17 starters.
Thanks to the organisers, landowners, and other helpers.
Draft results here: narradale2012_results1.pdf.
