Thursday, 10 September 2026 16:05

A firefighter plans to run 62 miles between all of the Island's fire stations to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Adam Boyd says he's doing the charity challenge in memory of the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives in the terror attacks.

He aims to cover the distance of nearly two and a half marathons between the seven stations, raising money for the The Fire Fighters Charity and Heroes on The Water Isle of Man.
