Competitor Update: Saturday 4th April 2026

After a successfully opening race of the Isle of Man Easter Festival of Running 2026 we are looking forward to heading west today for the Full Factory Winnerswear Peel Hill Race. Please find below some important updates for all runners.

Today’s transport:

The coaches will leave from the war memorial on Douglas Promenade  opposite the Villa Marina. Due to the large number of competitors travelling we have to do double run with the coaches to enable everyone 
to get to the races on time. Two coaches will leave at 12 noon, five  coaches will leave at 12.45 and two further coaches will leave at 1.15pm (the time of these depends on the first coaches leaving on time). Please be patient if this means a bit of hanging around.

There is only one coach back from Peel as most people run back and it  will leave from the Creek at 16.30.

Public transport is operating as normal.

Run back to Douglas:

As many people run back to Douglas after the race on Saturday we would  like you to ask everyone to keep to the Heritage trail/old railway line  as much as possible. Wear something bright. Ensure you are back in  Douglas before dark or use public transport. Please also respect the local farmland and livestock particularly as it is lambing season.

Medical Information:

Please remember to record personal details and medical information on the reverse of your number. This is for your benefit should medical attention be needed.

If you hacve any medical conditions or related information that you would like the medical staff to know, please e-mail  contact@easterfestival.info. All information was be treated confidentially
