Geoff Rice is raising funds for the RNLI

An athlete from Peel has set off on the first of seven marathons in seven days.

Each one will consist of five laps up and around Peel Hill. 

Veteran runner Geoff Rice will cover 183 miles over the next week, including several climbs to Corrin’s Tower each day - all in aid of the RNLI.

Geoff’s first marathon got underway from Fenella Beach at 1pm this afternoon. (Saturday, 17 May)
