Michael George wins Manx Telecom Parish Walk

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Douglas man Michael George has won the Manx Telecom Parish Walk after coming agonisingly close last year.

He completed the race with a time of 14 hours and 44 minutes beating Richard Gerrard and Jock Waddington.

Last years winner Vinny Lynch settled for fourth place.

Janice Quirk won the women's event by a clear margin.

It wasn't easy going for the 1,400 competitors, who battled against ever changing weather.
