New photo technology to be used for Parish Walk 2015

Friday, 6 March 2015 00:00

Walkers will be guaranteed a photo finish in this year's Manx Telecom Parish Walk thanks to clever new technology.

Pic2Go will post photographs - taken by the official photographers - to instantly upload images to participants Facebook pages during the race.

Special software will recognise a barcode on the race number of each walker - Alex Barlow from MT says it's good way to keep updated on walkers' achievements:

Chief executive Mike Dee says the company is happy to invest in technology without spoiling the traditions of the race:

OUT: The event takes place on Saturday, June 20th - entries close on May 10th.
