Around 400 people are expected to take part in this weekend's Syd Quirk Half Marathon.
Competitors will take part in the half-marathon's run and walk events which get underway from 8am on Sunday.
In recent years organisers have had to set limits on entries due to demand - entries are full again for 2022.
Dave Griffiths told Manx Radio why he thinks the occasion is so popular:
