Manx Harriers are delighted to welcome Manx Telecom as the new headline sponsor for the Parish Walk. Having previously been involved in supporting the timing and results service Manx Telecom is the ideal
company to take over as the main sponsor for the event. Raymond Cox the race
director said " We have made good friends with the people at Manx Telecom
over the past 5 years and they bring a excellent level of technological
expertise to the organisation. We look forward to bringing an even better
Parish Walk in 2012 and over the next three years we will enhance the
"Parish experience" for both competitors and spectators alike."
As part of their title sponsorship, Manx Telecom will be continuing to provide the electronic timing. Introduced in 2007, the service provides online timing and text messaging to two of each walker's nominated supporters and is unequalled in any athletic event worldwide.
