Thursday, 1 December 2011 00:00

It’s still more than six months away but entries are already open for next year’s Parish Walk.

Race organisers are hoping to see a record number taking part in 2012.

A total of 1,753 entrants signed up for this year’s event - the highest ever total in the event’s long history - and it’s hoped that another record will be set next year.

Speaking to 3FM, race organiser Raymond Cox said they often receive an influx of entrants in the post Christmas period when people are vowing to get back in shape following festive over indulgence.
