Excitement is building for the 2026 Manx Telecom Parish Walk, as entries are now open for the island’s iconic endurance event, which will take place on Saturday 20th June 2026. Participants will face the ultimate walking challenge covering 85 miles around the Isle of Man within a 24 hour limit.
To mark the launch, Manx Telecom is offering a special early bird discount to its customers. Manx Telecom mobile customers who register before 31st January 2026 will receive £5 off their entry fee. The initiative encourages both newcomers and returning walkers to take part in a long-standing tradition that brings together communities and local businesses from across the island.
Open to walkers of all abilities, the Parish Walk offers everyone the chance to set personal goals, whether that’s reaching a single parish or completing the full 85 mile route.
Gary Lamb, CEO of Manx Telecom, said: "We are thrilled to launch early registration for the 2026 Parish Walk. This event is a highlight of the Manx summer, bringing together walkers, supporters, and the wider community. Each year, the Parish Walk showcases the incredible spirit of the island, and Manx Telecom is proud to continue supporting it."
Raymond Cox, organiser of the Parish Walk, added: "With the New Year approaching, many people are thinking about personal challenges and goals. Whether it’s your first Parish Walk or you’re a seasoned participant, registering now gives you plenty of time to train and prepare. We’re delighted to continue working with Manx Telecom, and the early bird offer is a fantastic way to encourage more participants to join. We can’t wait to see the community come together once again for this extraordinary event."
