I can tell you that Brenda Charlton is as pleased as Punch! She says 'just by carrying on walking gives me so much pleasure, that it really tickles me to also make it into the rankings, and I'm so happy to see the likes of Sarah (Goldsmith), Enid (Watson) and others well up in the lists as well, & it's nice to see Hilary Musson ranked too'.

Salclear Isle of Man Marathon and Half Marathon.
A record combined field of 305 finishers! And new course records: -
Alan Postlethwaite (IoM Northern AC) knocked 11mins19secs off the V60+ record to set a new mark of 1:26:49. He also still holds the V45-49 & the V55-59 records.
Jean Snelling (York Knavesmire Harriers) set a new standard for the Ladies V70+ at 2:19:36. There was not a record in the age group previously.
For the first time we had the new official Vets cateory of Men 35-39 this year. So we have the initial values set by Michael Garrett (Manx Harriers) at 1:25:52 in the Half Marathon, & 3:05:15 by Mark Clague (Manx Harriers) in the Marathon. Mark also won the Isle of Man Championship.
