This years Harbour2Harbour Walk has been cancelled amid the Coronavirus outbreak.
The event had been due to take place on Sunday, May 17, starting from Castletown Square and finishing at the Marine Biological Centre in Port Erin - a record 691 took part in the 2019 occasion.
Event organiser, Janet Bridle, says whilst they're naturally disappointed to have to make the decision the priority is for everyone to stay safe.
She adds they're working to make sure the 2021 event will be 'bigger and better than ever'.
