Entries for the 2026 Isle of Man Easter Festival of Running close on Sunday.

Organisers are urging runners to sign up before the deadline for one of the island’s most popular athletics weekends.

The three‑day festival, held over the Easter weekend, draws competitors from across the British Isles and further afield.

This year’s programme again features the Port Erin 10k on Good Friday, the Peel Hill Race on Saturday, and the Douglas Promenade 5k on Easter Sunday.

Known for its mix of competitive racing and friendly atmosphere, the festival remains a highlight of the Manx athletics calendar and offers opportunities for runners of all abilities.

After Sunday’s closing date (March 15), late entries will only be accepted on the day of each race, and the full festival entry option will no longer be available.

Runners can still enter one, two or all three races, but late‑entry fees will apply.
