  LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN JURBY – PART 6   ENTRIES HAVE CLOSED! Entries closed at midnight on Sunday for next month’s scenic stroll around the Island’s Parishes and a great entry of 1245 has been announced (although I am sure that 1246 Kelsey Ferguson will be in there somewhere!). Amongst the latest entries we welcome his Honour the Lieutenant Governor John Lorimer and hope that he will become as obsessed about the event as the rest of us, whilst an intriguing addition is that outstanding athlete Gianni Epifani, and it will be interesting to see how he fares on the long distance. I am especially pleased to see the return of three of the all-time greats of the event. Jock Waddington (4 times winner 2008-2011 inclusive) is I believe only going to Peel this time, though as a member of the Committee’s website and social media team I expect he will be having a somewhat busy evening once he gets back to Douglas. Robbie Callister (5 times winner between 2001 and 2007) ‘retired’ in 2021
