He's been appointed IoM Athletics Development Officer
A prominent Manx athlete is hoping to help spearhead the growth of the sport.
Long-distance runner Ollie Lockley is taking up the post of development officer within Isle of Man Athletics which he will balance alongside his racing and other work commitments.
The 30-year-old says the Island is fortunate to have good infrastructure already in place and it's important this is maintained to keep providing competitors with opportunities.
Ollie adds trying to recruit more volunteers, to make sure local events can go ahead, is one of his main priorities:
Police investigating graffiti targeting Doug Barrowman and Michelle Mone
How to bring Mooir Vannin power into Manx grid 'yet to be agreed'
Surge in interest from off-Island in Manx properties, says agent
New scam targeting vulnerable people with fall alarms in their homes
Concerns over claims about unexpected deaths in hospital
