The Isle of Man will be hosting a gruelling mountain biking competition later this year.
The British Cycling National Mountain Bike Marathon Championships will be held on Island in July - the competition involves local and UK cyclists tackling a 100km off road course.
The course is a 'gruelling, hard going and strenuous day out' according to the event organisers - elite riders will go on to complete the 100-mile lap as well that day.
Those interested but not able to do the full lap are welcome to enter the last 50km - event organiser Nigel Morris lays out the full route:
Strang Stores applies for extension permission
Tynwald petition advice is free - but you'll need to act soon!
Midnight closing for new Indian restaurant in Castletown?
Tynwald to hear about Ramsey hospital reopening
Superdrug to open beauty salon in summer
MHK to query regulation for funeral directors
Road closures announced for Sprintfest - but no Ramsey Sprint again?
TT 2026 funfair deals close tomorrow
