World Champion athletes Roger Black and Steve Backley are on the Island today giving a motivational talk at the Gaiety Theatre.

The Olympians will be drawing on their experience at the top of their game and how their approach can be applied to everyday life and business situations.

Roger Black is becoming a familiar face on the Island as Scottish Widows ambassador for the Parish Walk.

He’s vowed to make it as far as Rushen this year claiming in an earlier interview with 3FM that he could never complete the full 85 miles.

Speaking about the walk he has praised the Manx public for helping push entry numbers to record highs yet again.

Admission is free tonight with the talk getting underway at 6pm.
