Still time to sign up to Marathong

Thursday, 19 September 2013 00:00

More people are being urged to don their underwear and sign up for tomorrow’s Marathong.

The fundraising event is being organised by Manx Cancer Help to raise awareness of male cancers.

Runners – including men, women and teams – are asked to put on their best pair of pants for the 1.3-mile race around Douglas.

Patron of the charity James Toseland will be one of those taking part as the charity aims to raise £10,000.

Fundraising co-ordinator Ally Martin says there is an important message behind the event:
