Hannah's Parish Page
The Parish Walk is one of the oldest sporting events on the Isle of Mans calendar. First held as a sporting
challenge between two men in the last century, it was revived in its present form in the 1960’s, as an
event open to all.
What is it? It is a walking race that is open to competitors of all standards, and an event that generates
a tremendous social atmosphere. To complete the course you have to walk 85 miles, calling in at each of
the Island’s 17 parish churches, but for most competitors it is a challenge to see just how many
churches they can reach.
My challenge is to walk to Peel which is 32.5 miles although I intend to go as far as possible!
I am raising money for the Special Care Baby Unit at Noble's Hospital on the Isle of Man and hope that you'll support me as any of you that know me know how lazy I am and so what a real challenge this is!
